University Urology Associates of New Jersey is a leading urology practice in Central Jersey, and we're looking for driven and capable Certified Medical Assistants to join our growing team.
Positions are open for all four offices in New Jersey: Hamilton, Freehold, Toms River, and Whiting. Please apply if you are located in any of these areas.
Urology is a diverse practice, with plenty of learning and growth opportunity for both new CMAs and for experienced CMAs looking for something different. Previous urology experience is a big plus, but we'd love to train any candidates with a passion to learn about the field.
Our physicians perform surgical procedures in-office, providing hands on experience for CMAs who want to do more than check vital signs and write down a patient's history, and you'll be backed up by a great front desk team to help lighten the administrative load. Patient care is our priority at UUANJ, and we want our CMAs to be able to focus on delivering the best experience possible for each and every patient.
We're looking to fill both full-time and part-time positions, but all candidates must be certified.
We offer a competitive hourly rate that is commensurate with experience.
