Travel Sterile Processing Tech Job

Imagine elevating patient care through meticulous sterile processing, where every instrument calculation, cleaning cycle, and packing decision directly supports the operating room team and patient outcomes. As a Travel Sterile Processing Tech in Lima, Ohio, beginning December 8, 2025, you will become a vital link in a fast-paced hospital environment, transforming infection control through precise decontamination, inspection, packaging, sterilization, and distribution. Your attention to detail and steady performance under pressure will ensure instrument readiness, boost OR efficiency, and empower surgeons to focus on what they do best. This week‑to‑week assignment offers guaranteed hours and a clear path to growth within the sterile processing specialty, providing the stability you need while you gain diverse clinical exposure across multiple facilities.

Ohio’s northwest region surrounding Lima holds a welcoming community vibe with the conveniences of urban proximity. Working here means engaging with a region renowned for affordable living, accessible outdoor escapes, and rich local culture. You’ll have the chance to explore state parks, lakes, and trails during time off, balancing demanding shifts with rejuvenating downtime. The role also offers the flexibility to work in various locations across the United States as needed, expanding your professional network, sharpening your skills, and broadening your understanding of sterility programs in different hospital ecosystems. And for those who enjoy scenic drives and regional flavor, Ohio’s diverse landscapes—from tranquil river towns to thriving midwestern neighborhoods—provide inspiring backdrops to recharge after a demanding shift.

In this role, your core responsibilities span the full lifecycle of the sterile processing workflow: receiving, decontaminating, inspecting, assembling, packaging, sterilizing, and tracking instrument sets; verifying instrument counts and documentation; maintaining sterilization equipment and environmental controls; and collaborating with OR teams, nursing units, and supply chains to optimize instrument availability. You’ll navigate washers, ultrasonic cleaners, autoclaves, steam and chemical sterilization cycles, and automated tracking systems, all while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards and hospital policies. The position is designed to foster professional growth within the specialty—whether you aim to deepen technical expertise, pursue leadership in central sterile operations, or broaden knowledge into perioperative services. Benefits are designed to recognize performance and support long‑term commitment: a competitive weekly pay range of $1,625 to $1,714, guaranteed 40 hours per week, and the option for extension opportunities to continue your travel journey. You’ll also receive housing assistance to ease relocation, and a bonus program tied to performance and tenure, helping you maximize earnings while you gain breadth of experience.

We are dedicated to providing comprehensive support throughout your travel assignment. You’ll have 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel team, with on‑call clinicians and coordinators ready to help with credentialing, onboarding, orientation, and on‑site challenges. The company’s culture emphasizes empowerment, reliability, and a supportive environment where your professional development is prioritized through ongoing training, access to credentialing resources, and mentorship. You’ll be part of a network that values your contributions, rewards your dedication, and provides a transparent path to extended or permanent roles within hospital operations or regional health networks.
