Certified Medical Assistant
About This Opportunity
The Greer Group is a woman-owned staffing firm headquartered in Raleigh, NC. We have been placing people, not just filling jobs, across the Triangle for 40 years. This is not just a temporary to hire position, it is a real path to a long-term clinical career.
You will start on assignment with the opportunity to convert to a full-time, permanent employee of our client, an internal medicine practice with deep roots in the Raleigh area, based on performance and business need. Conversion is not guaranteed, but many of our medical placements have followed that path. If you are looking for a stable care team in an established Raleigh practice where you can genuinely grow in your profession, this is worth your time.
Start date is based on the interviewing timeline and any notice you need to give a current employer. Typical start timelines range from 1 to 3 weeks based on your availability.
