It should come as no surprise that not all healthcare heroes wear scrubs, many play critical roles behind the scenes.

Nationally, administrative and support staff make up approximately 25-30% of the hospital workforce, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep facilities running smoothly while supporting clinical teams on the front lines.

From those who translate medical procedures into standardized codes for insurance processing and operations teams who coordinate essential non-clinical services to environmental services professionals who maintain the clean, safe environments vital for healing and nutrition services teams who provide meals for patients, visitors and staff, administrative and support staff are the true unsung heroes of healthcare who help make quality patient care possible every single day.

“While their work may not always be visible, administrative and support staff are essential to the delivery of safe, high-quality care,” says Carolyn Petties, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, System Director of Human Resource Operations, South Texas Health System (STHS). “Behind every patient interaction is a team of dedicated professionals ensuring our hospitals operate efficiently and seamlessly each day.”

As part of its continued growth, STHS will host a dedicated hiring event on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, to recruit administrative and support staff across its 12 facilities and regional operations center, with dozens of positions available.

Current openings include, but are not limited to:

· Accounts Payable Clerk

· Admissions Representative

· Birth Certificate Representative/Registrar

· Certified Coder

· Credentialing Specialist

· Department Secretary

· Electrician

· Floor Tech

· Housekeeper

· Lab Coordinator Materials

· Lead Cook

· Maintenance Worker – Skilled

· Monitor Tech

· Plumber

· Radiology Assistant

· Security Guard

· Trauma Registrar

· Unit Clerk Secretary Coordinator

STHS encourages individuals seeking non-clinical support roles to update their resumes and attend the upcoming hiring event to learn more about competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits and sign-on bonuses for qualified applicants.

Onsite interviews with human resources recruiters and department leaders will be conducted, with same-day job offers available for qualified candidates.
