The Mass General Brigham Medical Group is a system-led operating entity formed by Mass General Brigham to deliver high quality, low cost, innovative community-based ambulatory care. This work stems from Mass General Brigham’s unified system strategy to bring health care closer to patients while lowering total health care costs. The Medical Group provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, specialty care, behavioral and mental health, and urgent care, both digitally as well as at physical locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. The group also offers outpatient surgery and endoscopy, imaging, cardiac testing, and infusion. We share the commitment to delivering a coordinated and comprehensive experience across all locations, ensuring the appropriate level of care is available to every patient across our care delivery sites.

We are seeking a full-time team member to join our practice, working 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, based at our 250 Paradise Road location in Swampscott, MA.

This is a dynamic, dual-role position that includes responsibilities across the front desk, phones, and scanning, with team members cross-trained to support multiple functions.

You’ll be part of a collaborative team of eight staff members.

We are looking for someone with strong customer service experience who thrives in a fast-paced environment; experience with Epic is preferred but not required for the right candidate with a customer-focused mindset.
