Job description

4-Day Workweek | 3-Day Weekends | Growing Denver Practice


Want a healthcare career you love AND three-day weekends every week?


LoHi Chiropractic is looking for an energetic, exceptionally reliable and detail-oriented Chiropractic Assistant to join our growing team!


We are an established, high-energy chiropractic and rehabilitation practice that has served the Denver community for approximately 10 years. With the exciting expansion of our Federal Injury Care (FIC) program, we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us and become an important part of our clinical team.


The best part? We work FOUR 10-hour days. Monday to Thursday. Three-day weekends almost every week.


We believe you can work hard, take amazing care of patients, build a great career and still have a life outside of work.


This position is perfect for someone who LOVES structure, organization, schedules and checklists, and takes genuine pride in doing things correctly and on time.


If you're the person who is always on time, notices the little details others miss, remembers what needs to happen next and loves checking things off a list, we want to meet you!


What You'll Do:

Assist our doctors with new-patient and progress examinations. Perform delegated examination procedures and objective measurements after training. Guide patients through prescribed therapeutic exercises and rehabilitation. Set up and administer delegated therapeutic modalities within permitted scope. Prepare patients and treatment areas for care. Accurately document completed therapies, exercises and clinical information. Keep examinations, treatments and rehab exercises within established timeframes. Monitor the schedule and help keep doctors and patients running on time. Prepare rooms, equipment and paperwork before they're needed. Clean, reset and maintain treatment and rehabilitation areas. Assist with clinical forms, records and patient-care workflows. Help maintain supplies and inventory. Support our growing Federal Injury Care program. Follow LoHi's established SOPs, checklists and clinical protocols consistently.


Who Will THRIVE at LoHi? You are: extremely detail-oriented, dependable and punctual, highly organized, excellent at following written and verbal directions, comfortable following specific SOPs and checklists, very aware of time, able to multitask without forgetting details, fast and efficient without sacrificing accuracy, comfortable in a busy, energetic healthcare environment, friendly, upbeat and professional with patients, coachable and receptive to feedback, able to take responsibility for mistakes, fix them and learn from them, someone who follows through without repeated reminders, and a team player who notices what needs to be done and jumps in.


Previous chiropractic experience is NOT required. We can teach chiropractic procedures and LoHi systems. Experience as a Chiropractic Assistant, PT aide, rehab technician, medical assistant, exercise science/kinesiology graduate or in another hands-on healthcare position is a plus.


The Schedule: Work Hard, Then Enjoy Your Weekend!

Monday to Thursday: 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Staff 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM, lunch 12:00 to 1:00 PM, staff 1:00 to 6:00 PM. Patient care 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 to 5:30 PM.

Mondays: mandatory weekly staff meeting 12:00 to 1:00 PM. One Friday per month: mandatory all-team meeting 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Otherwise: Friday, Saturday, Sunday OFF.


Compensation & Benefits: $19 to $21/hour, depending on experience and qualifications. Includes a 4-day workweek, 3-day weekends almost every week, medical insurance, optional dental and vision benefits, employee access to chiropractic and wellness services, extensive hands-on training, professional development, opportunities to learn chiropractic, rehabilitation and Federal Workers' Compensation care, long-term growth opportunities within an established and expanding practice, and a fun, energetic and team-oriented healthcare environment.


This Probably ISN'T the Job for You If You: are frequently late, regularly lose track of time, need repeated reminders to complete tasks, have difficulty following detailed instructions, routinely skip steps, dislike checklists or established procedures, prefer doing things "your own way" instead of following the trained protocol, become defensive when receiving constructive feedback, have difficulty maintaining accuracy when things get busy, or spend significant work time on your personal phone.
