Part Time. Tuesday–Saturday. [With path to Full Time]

About Us: Medi-Weightloss of N Austin (Anderson Mill) is a physician-supervised weight loss practice. Our patients come back every week, often for a year or more. That changes the job. You are not moving strangers through a room — you learn names, you see the numbers move, and you are part of why they move.

We are looking for someone who wants both halves of this work: the clinical skill and the coaching.

Why Join Us:

-

A schedule you keep. Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. No nights. And we keep trained temp staff on call, so when you need time off, you take it.

-

Pay we will state up front. Starting at $18.00 per hour, reviewed as your skills and responsibilities grow.

-

Room to grow into coaching. This role starts clinical and opens into patient coaching as you learn our program. How fast is up to you.

-

Real training. Full program protocol, body composition analysis, and the coaching methods behind our results.

-

Benefits. Paid time off, paid holidays, and health insurance, subject to plan documents and eligibility. Full-time team members are also eligible for the Medi-Weightloss program at no cost. Participation is voluntary.

Primary Responsibilities: Patient vitals, EKG, phlebotomy, injections, patient coaching, and front office support. We value clinical skill paired with the ability to have an honest, encouraging conversation with a patient about a hard subject.

Medical Assistant certification is welcome and shortens your ramp, but it is not required. We hire on demonstrated skill.

A plus: front office, insurance and VOB experience, EMR proficiency, a background in nutrition or exercise, or Spanish fluency.
