Position Overview: As a key voice of our Health System, you’ll ensure smooth, timely communication across patients, staff, visitors, and the public. You’ll manage incoming and outgoing calls, direct information efficiently, and serve as the central communications hub — especially during times when administrative teams are off‑site. Your work keeps our operations connected, responsive, and running seamlessly.

What You’ll Do:

• Handle a wide range of communications and administrative tasks with accuracy and professionalism.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for callers, offering clear information and exceptional service.
• Support system-wide communication flow during evenings, weekends, and other periods with limited administrative coverage.
• Work independently, confidently, and with strong attention to detail.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Education: High school diploma or equivalent.
• Experience: One year as a switchboard operator preferred; ability to work independently is essential.
• Licensure/Certification: Not required.
• Skills: Strong comprehension and listening skills; ability to interpret and relay information clearly; excellent social and customer service skills.

Join our team as the welcoming voice of our Health System. In this role, you’ll connect patients, staff, visitors, and community members with the information and support they need. You’ll manage calls, guide inquiries, and keep communication flowing — especially during times when most administrative staff are away. If you enjoy helping people, staying organized, and working independently, this role offers a meaningful way to make an impact every day.

Caring for Our Team: We offer a comprehensive benefits package to support our employees' well‑being and professional growth. Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance available starting the 1st day of the month following hire, plus life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage. Paid Time Off accrues from day one, and we also provide a 401(k) plan, an education assistance program, and an employee assistance program.

Employees working evening, night, or weekend shifts may be eligible for a shift differential, adding even more value to your role.

Happy to Help: At Meritus, we believe in a collaborative and caring work environment. Interactions are an opportunity to learn, listen, and be there for one another. We provide warm welcomes, hospitality-driven closings, and are always Happy to Help.
