Everyone Is a Caregiver

At UMass Memorial Health, everyone is a caregiver - regardless of their title or responsibilities. Exceptional patient care, academic excellence and leading-edge research make UMass Memorial the premier health system of Central Massachusetts, and a place where we can help you build the career you deserve.

We are more than 16,000 employees, working together as one health system in a relentless pursuit of healing for our patients, community and each other. And everyone, in their own unique way, plays an important part, every day.

I. Major Responsibilities:

1.Salaried clinicians are expected to work a specific number of hours per week which is comprised of clinical hours (billable activity), administrative time (treatment notes, meetings, supervision, etc.), education and training, and program operations. Attendance at staff meetings, supervisions, and the Quarterly All Staff meeting is required.

2.Salaried staff are expected to meet productivity benchmarks and to also contribute to program development; represent the program/hospital at internal and external meetings; help to coordinate certain specialized groups, programs, or activities; and to develop new clinical or didactic skills to enhance treatment or increase staff knowledge.

6.Each staff member will share responsibility to ensure that program needs are met.

This may include covering groups/clients when another clinician is out, and handling clients who walk-in for treatment.

7.The Director approves all changes in staff schedules; including work done at home, and adjusting schedules to meet client needs.

8.Only assignments assessed to be well beyond the normal responsibilities of a staff person within the scheduled work-week may result in the specific reduction of total available time which will, in turn, reduce productivity obligations for that individual during that period. Productivity time is earned only through billable clinical service hours.
