Part-Time Surgical Tech Jobs

Part-time surgical tech jobs give OR professionals a structured schedule with consistent hours while preserving the work-life balance that full-time hospital positions often make difficult, with hourly rates typically ranging from $24 to $48 depending on market, facility type, and specialty. Ambulatory surgery centers post part-time openings more frequently than hospitals, making them the most reliable source of these positions across most markets. Employers generally require CST certification and at least one year of primary scrub experience, with techs who cover multiple specialty service lines offering the most scheduling flexibility to hiring managers.

Part-time roles in orthopedics and general surgery tend to fill fastest due to high case volume and predictable block scheduling.

USPI, Surgical Care Affiliates, Kaiser, and Trinity Health are among the larger systems with recurring part-time surgical tech needs, particularly in California, the Midwest, and the Mid-Atlantic. Search current part-time surgical tech positions and apply directly to facilities hiring now.
