The job openings include 227 staff positions, such as housekeeping, pharmacists, nurses, clerks and technicians, as well as approximately 27 faculty posts — physicians and practitioners.
The staff hires planned for the new hospital will add to the existing 982 full-time-equivalent positions directly supporting the children’s hospital, which currently is housed within the main Iowa City-based University of Iowa Health Care campus, according to the report. The pediatrics faculty recruits for the upcoming budget year will add to the 52 pediatric faculty hired in the last three years.
Hospital officials told The Gazette the new facility’s biggest staffing needs include perioperative nurses and pharmaceutical employees.
UI Health Care held its first job fair for the children’s hospital in early May in Iowa City, and the hospital plans to hold several more off-site recruitment fairs in other communities, according to the report.
