Inspired by faith. Driven by innovation. Powered by humankindness. CommonSpirit Health is building a healthier future for all through its integrated health services. As one of the nation's largest nonprofit Catholic healthcare organizations, CommonSpirit Health delivers more than 20 million patient encounters annually through more than 2,300 clinics, care sites, and 137 hospital-based locations, in addition to its home-based services and virtual care offerings.

Our mission is to make the healing presence of God known in our world by improving the health of the people we serve, especially those who are vulnerable, while we advance social justice for all.

The posted compensation range of $24.00 - $24.00 / hour is a reasonable estimate that extends from the lowest to the highest pay CommonSpirit in good faith believes it might pay for this particular job, based on the circumstances at the time of posting. CommonSpirit may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range as permitted by law.

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Unit Aide to join our team. The Unit Aide plays a vital, non-clinical supportive role, ensuring the smooth operation of the patient care unit and contributing directly to patient comfort and satisfaction. This position is ideal for individuals who are highly organized, possess excellent communication skills, and are passionate about supporting healthcare professionals in providing high-quality patient care.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe patient care environment by stocking supplies, tidying common areas, and ensuring patient rooms are ready for admission or turnover.
• Monitor and replenish unit supplies (e.g., linens, personal care items, designated medical supplies as directed by nursing staff), ensuring adequate stock is available for patient care.
• Assist with basic administrative and clerical tasks such as answering phones, directing calls and inquiries appropriately, processing patient charts (if applicable to unit workflow), and light data entry.
• Provide general comfort measures for patients, such as responding to call lights, assisting with meal tray setup and collection, distributing blankets, delivering water, and facilitating non-clinical communication with nursing staff.
• Observe and report any unusual patient behavior, environmental hazards, or supply discrepancies to the nursing staff promptly.
• Assist with the safe and efficient transport of patients within the unit or to other departments via wheelchair or stretcher as directed by nursing staff (this is generally less frequent than a dedicated Transporter role but can be part of a Unit Aide's duties).
