We are a full-service practice offering a full range of cardiology services including general and interventional cardiology, heart failure interventional procedures, electrophysiology, device implants, anticoagulation management and more.

This opportunity will support our Heart Failure Clinic, which is led by a Medical Program Director in coordination with APRNs.

We also provide a team of nurse navigators who will guide our patients every step of the way - setting up clinic appointments and being the point of contact for patient's visits and questions.

We are located at 19 Old Rollinsford Road in Dover, NH 03820.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour Medical Assistant to support our Heart Failure Clinic team onsite Monday through Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm.

As true partners to our nurses and providers, our Medical Assistants get the opportunity to work autonomously to the top of their education/certification while also functioning as part of the collaborative team.

Responsibilities include:

• Ensuring efficient patient flow through the office

• Maintaining neat, clean, and safe patient care areas

• Performing the functions of a front desk representative during times when the office is not as busy from a clinical perspective and as directed/assigned.

• Interacting with patients and their families in a professional, friendly manner consistent with their needs.

We do our best to keep all employees in their assigned practices and locations; however, you may also be asked to float to other departments in the WHP system when appropriate and needed during times of staffing shortages/other extenuating circumstances for cross-coverage purposes and to ensure adequate coverage and support.
