Job Description
School-Based Health Center Coordinator / Medical Assistant (MA)
Full-Time | Siskiyou Community Health Center (SCHC)
Make a Difference Where It Matters — and Build a Career That Leaves Room for Life
What if your work as a Medical Assistant could do more than support a busy clinic? What if you could help make healthcare easier to reach for children and families—right where students spend their day?
At Siskiyou Community Health Center, our School-Based Health Centers bring primary and preventive healthcare directly into local schools. We’re looking for a School-Based Health Center Coordinator / Medical Assistant who wants meaningful, hands-on clinical work, strong relationships with patients and community partners, and the opportunity to be part of a mission that matters.
This is a full-time, year-round position supporting our five School-Based Health Center sites. During the school year, you’ll combine hands-on Medical Assistant responsibilities with coordination that helps our school-based clinics run smoothly. During the summer months, you’ll work as a Medical Assistant in the clinic in Grants Pass.
Meaningful Work. Sustainable Career.
Healthcare is demanding work. We believe a rewarding healthcare career should also leave room for your life outside of work.
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to build relationships with students, families, school staff, and healthcare professionals while helping remove barriers to care for young people in our community. Rather than wondering whether your work makes a difference, you’ll see that impact firsthand.
You’ll be part of a community health organization where access, prevention, teamwork, and service are at the heart of what we do.
What You’ll Do
Most of your time will be spent providing direct patient care as a Medical Assistant. You’ll:
Welcome and room patients, obtain vital signs, health histories, and chief complaints
Assist providers with exams, procedures, screenings, and immunizations
Administer medications and immunizations under provider orders and within MA scope of practice
Perform point-of-care testing such as rapid strep, glucose, and hemoglobin testing
Document patient care accurately in the Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Help coordinate referrals, prior authorizations, follow-up appointments, and continuity of care
Prepare and maintain exam rooms, clinical supplies, and equipment
Follow infection-control, safety, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requirements
You’ll also play an important role in keeping our five School-Based Health Centers connected and organized. This includes:
Coordinating patient and provider schedules around school calendars and activities
Serving as a key connection between SCHC, school administrators, counselors, students, and families
Communicating scheduling and operational changes to the school and SCHC teams
Managing student enrollment, consent, and eligibility documentation
Tracking supplies and equipment and supporting point-of-care testing quality assurance
Helping ensure our school-based clinics meet SCHC, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), and school district requirements
Supporting reporting and coordination needs for SCHC leadership and our school district partners
Why School-Based Healthcare?
For many children and families, getting to a traditional healthcare appointment can be difficult. School-based healthcare helps close that gap.
Your work can help a student receive a needed screening, stay current on preventive care, connect with additional services, or get treatment without unnecessary barriers.
It’s healthcare that meets people where they are—and an opportunity to use your Medical Assistant skills in a role with a clear community purpose.
You May Be a Great Fit If You…
Enjoy direct patient care but also like keeping things organized and running smoothly. You communicate well with people from different backgrounds and roles, can move comfortably between clinical and administrative responsibilities, and understand the importance of compassion, confidentiality, accuracy, and follow-through.
Most importantly, you’re looking for more than your next job. You want to contribute to healthier students, stronger families, and a healthier community while building a career that supports a sustainable work/life balance.
