Job description

As a global medtech company, we are driven by our Vision of changing the trajectory of lives for a new day and our Mission to create ingenious solutions that ignite patient turnarounds. Our relentless commitment to patients and strong legacy of innovation in healthcare are the foundation of our future. If you're looking for a new chance, a new beginning, a new trajectory, LivaNova is where your talent can truly thrive. Join our talented team members worldwide to become a pioneer of tomorrow-because at LivaNova, we don't just treat conditions - we aspire to alter the course of lives.


LivaNova Neuromodulation:

As pioneers of the VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation) Therapy system, LivaNova continues to advance medical device solutions for patients affected by Drug-Resistant Epilepsy (DRE) and Difficult-to-Treat Depression (DTD). There are 3 million people in the U.S. alone and one on three people with epilepsy are drug resistant. People with severe seizures have, on average, a shorter life expectancy and an increased risk of cognitive impairment particularly if the seizures developed in early childhood. VNS Therapy for DRE is delivered through a device that sends mild pulses to the vagus nerve at regular intervals throughout the day in an effort to prevent seizures.

This is a Part-Time opportunity.

Our Operating Room Support Specialists help to make a positive impact on the lives of our patients living with epilepsy. Whether you are an experienced Nurse, Operating Room Support Specialist, or someone looking to be trained to enter the medical field, this is your opportunity! Get the chance to work in the OR collaborating with neurosurgeons, epileptology's, and nurses supporting case coverage for our VNS Therapy System, which is FDA-approved for the treatment of refractory epilepsy.

The best person for the job will be able to;

  • Understand the implantation, operating room, and credentialing process

  • Know the local hospitals

  • Be available to work with short notice

Our Operating Room Support Specialist becomes a highly trained, subject matter expert responsible for surgical case coverage in the OR during implantation of the Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) Therapy System. You will also be responsible for supporting Operating Room staff in product-related matters intraoperative, including VNS diagnostics, troubleshooting, and programming assistance, so communication is an essential part of this job. The underlying knowledge of the VNS Therapy System is not necessary right away as training on the Vagus Nerve Stimulator will be provided at our Houston corporate office, as well as procedural training as needed. Travel requirements will be limited with the potential for an overnight stay on occasion. The Operating Room Support Specialist position is a field-based position requiring the employee to visit hospital facilities regularly. It will require compliance with hospital credentialing and access requirements (including any necessary immunizations as are required for healthcare employment).

Minimum Qualifications

  • BS/BA degree or clinical technical/operating room environment experience

  • Ability to project a positive image

  • Must be computer literate with proficiency in MS Office software

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills and nonverbal skills to communicate in the OR

  • Maintain all required necessary immunizations for healthcare employment as described above.

Compensation: The target hourly pay is $60/HR.
