Join Cleveland Clinic’s Main Campus where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world class and caregivers are family. Here, you will work alongside a passionate and dedicated team, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world. 

The Cardiovascular and Vascular Intensive Care Units specialize in the post-operative acute care of patients requiring heart surgery, open and endovascular thoraco and abdominal aneurysm repairs, as well as thoracic and other vascular surgical procedures. All post-operative patients come directly from the operating room and are recovered, stabilized, weaned, and extubated in these units. The unit accepts complex patients from other facilities that may have had surgical complications, or those needing further evaluation for patients that other facilities may not have considered to be surgical  
candidates. 

The patient population is diverse with complex medical problems that may require IABP therapy, CRRT, and thrombolytic therapy.

• Report abnormal findings or changes in physical, mental and emotional conditions to an RN.  

• Assist with keeping patients’ rooms clean and orderly.  

Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:  

• High School Diploma or GED 

• Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification through the American Heart Association (AHA) or American Red Cross before or within new hire period
