MU Health Care is looking for a highly attentive, dependable professional to join our Staffing Support Services team and play a vital role in supporting patient safety as a Health Clerk. The ideal candidate is observant, detail‑oriented, and able to maintain focus while monitoring multiple video feeds and identifying potential safety concerns in real time. We value individuals who communicate promptly and clearly, work well under pressure, and take initiative when situations require immediate escalation to clinical staff.

Success in this role requires strong computer skills, sound judgment, and the ability to remain calm and engaged throughout a fast‑paced environment. This position is perfect for someone who takes pride in noticing the small details others may miss and understands how those details can make a meaningful difference in patient care and safety. If you are a vigilant team player who enjoys being a critical link in maintaining a safe, patient‑centered environment, we encourage you to apply.

We celebrate innovation and offer opportunities to be a part of something bigger — to have a voice and role in the work that is serving our community and changing the field of medicine.

Our academic health system — the only in mid‑Missouri — is home to seven hospitals, including the region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center and region’s only Children’s Hospital, as well as over 90 specialty clinics.
