Save lives. Build clinical excellence. Shape the future of recovery practice.

We’re looking for a Clinical Trainer – Organ Recovery and Preservation to help develop the next generation of high-performing recovery professionals.

This is not a traditional educator role.

In this position, you will combine hands-on clinical expertise, live case coaching, and training program development to strengthen organ recovery practice across the team. You will work directly with Organ Recovery Coordinators, Organ Recovery Specialists, and Surgical Recovery Specialists to build surgical recovery capability, reinforce best practices in the field, and improve consistency, safety, and performance.

If you’re the kind of clinician others trust during a case — and you’re passionate about teaching, coaching, and improving how work gets done — this role offers the chance to make a visible impact on people, process, and mission.

What You’ll Do

• Train and coach clinical staff in Organ Recovery Coordination (organ allocation and donor management) and Surgical Recovery practice (organ preservation)
• Develop current ORC and SRS staff into a cross-functional ORS (Organ Recovery Specialists) a combined role.
• Provide education through classroom sessions, skills-based training, and real-time coaching during live cases
• Spend significant time in the field during your first 6–12 months to learn our processes, build rapport with the team, and establish yourself as a trusted coach
• Observe cases, provide feedback, validate competencies, and identify areas for improvement
• Support rollout of procedural, policy, and operational changes that affect recovery practice
• Partner with leaders to strengthen staff readiness, reduce recovery errors, and improve patient safety
• Create and maintain training tools, competency pathways, and clinical education materials
• Contribute to innovation, process improvement, and standardization across recovery operations

What to Expect

• No routine call
• During your first several months, schedule flexibility is important so you can attend cases and immerse yourself in team workflow
• Some evening or night case participation may be needed early on; weekends are generally not required
• Travel throughout the service area is expected (up to approximately 160 miles, though most travel is local)
• No overnight travel required
• After onboarding, you’ll continue regular field engagement, including approximately two on-site cases per month, plus additional field support tied to new processes or policy changes

Why This Role Stands Out

This role offers a unique blend of:

• Mission-driven impact
• Clinical variety
• Hands-on field coaching
• Program building and innovation
• Meaningful influence on quality, safety, and staff development

You won’t just deliver training — you’ll help shape how recovery work is performed.

Compensation

Anticipated salary range: $100,000–$120,000, depending on experience, credentials, and internal equity.

This Role May Be a Great Fit If You…

• Are a highly credible recovery professional who enjoys teaching in real clinical situations
• Want a role with both field presence and strategic influence
• Like building structure, metrics, and consistency into training programs
• Want to improve outcomes through better coaching, standard work, and frontline capability
• Care deeply about mission and believe strong clinical education is part of saving lives

This Role May Not Be the Right Fit If You…

• Prefer a classroom-only educator role
• Do not have hands-on recovery experience
• Are uncomfortable with flexible scheduling during the initial onboarding period
• Prefer highly predictable workflows over dynamic clinical environments
• Do not enjoy coaching others in real-time, high-accountability settings

What You Bring

• 5+ years in organ donation, or 3+ years in organ donation plus prior experience as a surgical technologist, ICU nurse, or similar clinical role
• Hands-on organ recovery experience is required
• Strong understanding of organ recovery coordination, surgical recovery, operating room workflow, and donor management
• Experience teaching, precepting, mentoring, or coaching others is required.
• Ability to build trust with frontline teams and support learning in high-acuity, real-world environments
• Passion for quality, patient safety, and continuous improvement
• Interest in Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) a plus!
• Interest in developing research recovery skills a plus!
• Relevant certifications such as CPTC, CTP, and/or CTPC preferred; required certifications must be obtained within the first 18 months of employment

Benefits:

• Competitive pay
• Affordable and comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Plans (including PPO, HDHP, and HSA)
• Generous PTO bank available for immediate use, plus 9 holidays and 2 floating holidays of your choice
• Paid Maternity, Paternity, and Family Leave
• Free, unlimited access for you and your partner to Maven, a virtual women's & family health platform
• Company provided term life, AD&D, short and long term disability insurance coverage
• Company paid-for certifications and license renewals
• 401(k) plan with company match
• Performance Bonuses
• Organizational dedication to internal advancement and promotion opportunities
