PeaceHealth Caregiver Model Excerpt

How do I search for jobs at PeaceHealth?
Click “Job Search” in the career search section of the website to find a listing of current health system job postings or call the job line at 800.455.4443.

How do I apply online?
When you have located a job you want to apply for, click the appropriate link at the bottom of the page. Choose “Click here to apply online” if you are an external candidate or choose “Current employees click here to apply online” if you are already working at Southwest Health System.

Do you accept resumes?
The online application process is designed to gather the information generally contained on a resume, but does not allow applicants to upload a formatted resume (this information can be cut and paste into the online application, however). If you are contacted for a personal interview, you may submit a resume during that meeting.

How do I login?
Go to the Job Search page and select Log In at the bottom of the page.

Help! I misplaced my username or password.
On the Applicant Login page, select “forgot username or password”. You will be prompted to enter your first name, last name and the last four digits of your SSN. You will then be asked to answer a security question. Once you have answered the question correctly, you have the option to have the username and password emailed to you or you can choose to have this displayed instantly.

I am trying to complete an online application, but the application will not open. How do I apply?
Check the settings on your computer. Sometimes pop up blockers do not allow the application page to open on your computer. If you are unable to locate the problem in your settings, you may use the computers in the HR department at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center. The address is 5400 MacArthur Blvd., Vancouver.

What if I need help with my application?
It is the policy of PeaceHealth that no person shall, on any basis including disability, be discriminated against in access or employment. Inquiries or comments may be addressed to: employment@swmedicalcenter.org.

What are the steps in the application review process?
Once a sufficient number of applications have been received, they are reviewed by the appropriate human resources professional or the hiring manager. A handful of top candidates are selected for an initial interview, and only those candidates will be contacted. From that group of candidates, a few finalists are selected to continue the interview process. Once an offer has been extended and accepted, the job posting will be closed.

Does PeaceHealth do pre-employment drug testing?
PeaceHealth conducts pre-employment drug screening and criminal background checks as part of the employment process.
