Description

Medical Assistant

At Redwood Coast Medical Services (RCMS), we don’t just provide care—we show up for the communities that depend on us. Every day, our teams step into clinics, homes, and moments that matter, making sure no one is left without access to compassionate, high-quality care.

We’re looking for a Medical Assistant to join our team—someone who is ready to step into a hands-on, patient-facing role and be part of that mission.

We value experience, and candidates with prior Medical Assistant, EMT, CNA, or clinical experience will stand out. That said, we’re also willing to train the right person—someone who is dependable, eager to learn, and committed to providing exceptional care. If you’re motivated, organized, and ready to grow in healthcare, we want to hear from you.

If you’re not yet a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA), you’ll be expected to obtain your certification within 12 months of hire—we’ll support you in getting there. After training, you’ll be paired closely with a provider, building continuity with patients and becoming a key part of their care experience.

What You'll Do:

• Support patient care by rooming patients, taking vitals, and assisting providers
• Work directly with your assigned provider to help keep the day running smoothly
• Help maintain efficient clinic flow while ensuring patients feel seen, heard, and supported
• Serve as a consistent, reassuring presence for patients throughout their visit
• Assist with clinical and administrative tasks as needed
• Step in where needed—because that's how great patient care happens

You'll work closely with the Director of Clinical Operations, who oversees the day-to-day flow of the clinic, while you support clinical operations and become a key resource to both patients and the care team.

What We're Looking For:

• Prior Medical Assistant, EMT, CNA, healthcare, or patient care experience preferred
• Willingness to learn and grow in a clinical environment
• Strong reliability, professionalism, and follow-through
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to stay organized and work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
• Commitment to delivering compassionate patient care

Licenses & Certifications:

• Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) preferred
• CMA certification required within 12 months of hire
• EMT certification is a plus

Why RCMS:

• Direct partnership with a provider and continuity with patients
• Mission-driven work serving rural communities
• Meaningful, hands-on clinical experience
• Training and support for motivated individuals entering healthcare
• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement
• A team that shows up—for patients and for each other
