JOB TITLE: Medical Assistant 

STATUS: Full Time (Non-Exempt)

REPORTS TO: Site Director

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

Vaughn Next Century Learning Center ("Vaughn"), located in Pacoima, is a large urban public school within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Since the early 1970s, low student achievement had been a pattern. In 1993, tired of being helpless and hopeless, Vaughn became the first conversion charter school in the nation and was authorized by LAUSD. The charter was renewed most recently in 2018. Vaughn has over 25 years of experience as a successful independent charter school serving the district's low-income students. This previously failing elementary public school is now a full-service, community-based, K-12th charter school that assures all students are college/career ready, digitally literate, and globally competent.

The Medical Assistant at Vaughn Next Century Learning Center provides essential health support to students, ensuring their well-being and safety throughout the school day. This role involves delivering direct care, assisting with medication administration, supporting students with mobility or personal care needs, and responding to minor medical incidents.

In addition to hands-on care, the Medical Assistant maintains accurate health records, conducts routine screenings, and monitors immunizations in compliance with California requirements.
