Scenic Bluffs Community Health Center is looking to hire a full-time Information Systems Support Specialist.

The Information Systems Support Specialist provides responsive, front-line support for the information systems used across Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers. This entry- to mid-level position helps employees use clinical, administrative, and business applications effectively; resolves routine access, configuration, and workflow issues; and supports reliable, secure use of organizational information.

Working under the direction of the Director of Information Systems and in collaboration with the IT Support Specialist, Clinical Applications Analyst, Reporting Analyst, and external vendors, the Specialist assists with user support, account administration, system maintenance, documentation, testing, training, and implementation activities. The position focuses on application and information-system support rather than primary responsibility for network infrastructure or hardware.

•  Maintain accurate documentation of system procedures, user instructions, issue resolutions, access requests, and recurring support needs.

•  Help identify common application or workflow problems and recommend practical improvements to the Director and relevant clinical or operational leaders.

Projects, Coordination & Security

•  Participate in information systems implementations, upgrades, integrations, and improvement projects through testing, staff communication, training, rollout assistance, and post-implementation support.

•  Coordinate with IT staff and vendors when application issues involve devices, connectivity, interfaces, or other infrastructure; communicate progress and follow through with users.

•  Protect confidential information and comply with HIPAA, organizational security policies, approved access controls, and incident-reporting procedures; promptly report suspected privacy or security concerns.

•  Perform other related duties and support department priorities as assigned.

•  Strong customer service, troubleshooting, communication, organization, and follow-through skills; ability to explain technical issues clearly to nontechnical users.

•  Comfort using Microsoft 365 and learning multiple clinical and business applications; familiarity with user access management, support ticketing, and basic data-quality practices.
