This is not a traditional clinical role
You’ll still use your hands and clinical reasoning, just earlier in the injury cycle, where you can change outcomes.
Instead of stepping in after something becomes a problem, you’ll work upstream:
- identifying issues early
- managing them before they escalate
- operating with real autonomy in how you deliver care
About the Role
We are hiring an Onsite Injury Prevention Specialist to lead an Early Intervention program inside a manufacturing facility.
This role is a mix of:
- 1:1 care with employees (appointment based)
- real-time engagement on the production floor
Focused on improving movement, managing fatigue, reducing discomfort, and preventing issues before they become injuries.
What You’ll Do
- Conduct 1:1 Early Intervention appointments with employees who have discomfort or fatigue
- Provide first-aid-level musculoskeletal support
- Provide movement-based assessments to identify underlying contributors to discomfort and movement inefficiencies in how work is performed
- Deliver hands-on, first-aid-level soft tissue support within scope (manual techniques to reduce discomfort and improve movement tolerance)
- Coach movement, lifting, and postural mechanics
- Guide employees through simple, effective movement resets and recovery strategies
- Provide ergonomic cues at the task level to improve efficiency and reduce strain
- Deliver care that keeps employees working and prevents issues from progressing
- Build trust and relationships with employees on the floor
- Support a culture of early reporting and injury prevention
- Complete minimal documentation and communicate with Ascent leadership
What Makes This Role Different
- You are embedded in a real work environment, not just 1:1 appointments
- You are focused on prevention, not treatment
- You actively engage employees; you are not waiting for patients
- You operate with high autonomy and ownership
- You are part of a structured, managed system (not just filling hours)
- No insurance billing, productivity quotas, or clinic-style documentation
- You have the opportunity to build long-term relationships and create meaningful change over time
Preferred Background & Skills
- Experience in manufacturing, industrial, warehouse, or field-based environments
- Familiarity with ergonomics, repetitive motion, and job task demands
- Comfortable working directly on the production floor and engaging employees in that environment
- Experience with early intervention or injury prevention is a plus
- Strong movement assessment skills with the ability to identify underlying contributors to discomfort
- Experience with manual therapy techniques (e.g., ART or similar soft tissue approaches) within scope
Preferred Credentials
- BOC Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) – Strongly Preferred
Must hold current, active licensure (in Oregon) or certification in their respective field and be in good standing.
Ideal Candidate
- Highly approachable and able to build trust quickly
- Comfortable working with a manufacturing / blue-collar workforce
- Self-starter who thrives with autonomy
- Strong movement and musculoskeletal awareness
- Coaching mindset and comfort speaking to small groups
- Confident in decision-making and escalation
Schedule & Structure
- 10–20 hours per week
- Weekday schedule (flexible within reason)
- Consistent onsite presence expected
