Would you take a role that mixes front desk administration with direct patient support—offering clear pay and no late-night shifts—or wait for something more traditional and strictly office-based?
I’d take it if the duties mirror hotel check-in flow,greeting, phones, scheduling,and there’s solid training, since those skills transfer to patient intake and appointments. Reason: it’s in Westminster. CO and pays $17,$18 per hour.
At $17–18 in Westminster, that’s pretty lean unless there are real benefits or fast raises; front desk + chiro assistant usually means phones, scheduling, room turnover, and some lifting. Could be decent if you want healthcare admin experience — do they list PTO, health/dental, or set hours?
That pay’s pretty rough for Westminster unless there are real benefits and predictable hours. Chiro assistant gigs can mean cleaning rooms, hooking up e-stim, insurance calls, and sometimes selling care packages — more than just “front desk.” I’d only bite if they cover health and bump to $20 in 6 months; do they list any benefits?
At $17–18/hr in Westminster, that’s tight, though the no nights/weekends is a legit perk. I’ve done front desk + CA before — phones, insurance calls, room turnover, e‑stim — and it’s a lot for that rate. I’d only consider it if there’s real benefits, paid training, and a clear path to $20+ within a few months.
Did a similar front desk/CA gig in Arvada — phones, room turnover, e‑stim, and insurance verifications; hours were solid, but the pay only felt okay because they covered health and gave small bonuses for collections. If you interview, ask how many patients per hour you’ll manage and whether insurance verifications are blocked on the schedule — those two things make or break the day.
At $17-18 I’d only bite if there are benefits or a bump after 60-90 days. Ask how many visits they run per day and whether you’re solo at the desk - my last clinic did around 100/day and being alone meant nonstop phones, room turnover, and e‑stim setup. Also confirm the software (ChiroTouch or Jane) and whether you get paid training time; learning it on the clock saved me from staying late to fix charts.
