Per Diem Medical Secretary

Per Diem Medical Secretary Job in Clifton Park, New York Clifton Park Physical Therapy is hiring for a Per Diem Medical Secretary job in Clifton Park, New York, and we're looking for someone dependable who genuinely enjoys being the first friendly face patients see. This role fills in for our full-time front office team during vacations and sick time, so the schedule flexes around our coverage needs rather than asking for a rigid full-time commitment. It's a strong fit if you want to keep your professional skills sharp and earn a competitive wage without being tied to a set number of hours every week. A Close-Knit Front Office TeamOur clinic runs on the same approach at the front desk as it does in treatment rooms: we listen first, so patients feel heard from the moment they walk in. You'll be working alongside a small, established team rather than navigating a large or impersonal office, which makes it easier to learn the role, ask questions, and step in smoothly when coverage is needed. Our team also spends time together outside the clinic through dinners and seasonal get-togethers, which is part of what keeps the office feeling steady and connected even when the people staffing the front desk change day to day. The front office plays a real role in how patients experience their visit, from a smooth check-in to a follow-up appointment that gets scheduled correctly. When you step in for coverage, you're not just filling a shift; you're helping the clinic keep that same level of care running without a gap, in a location right in the heart of Clifton Park that's convenient for both patients and staff to reach. Flexible Coverage, Real Training Office hours run Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with no weekend hours at all. As a per diem team member, you'll pick up shifts within that window when full-time staff are out, giving you control over your schedule outside of those coverage needs. You'll receive paid training on our PROMPT EMR system and WEAVE phone platform, so prior experience with either one is a plus but not required. That training doubles as a resume-builder: healthcare-specific EMR and phone-system experience is a skill set that carries over to other clinical office roles, whether you're building toward full-time work here or elsewhere. Because the role is per diem, your weekends are always free, and on the days the office is open, you're out by 6:30 PM Monday through Thursday and 2:00 PM on Fridays. That combination of predictable daily hours and flexible weekly commitment makes it a practical option if you're managing other responsibilities but still want steady, meaningful work in a healthcare setting.

If you like the idea of stepping in when it counts and being genuinely relied on by a small team, we'd love to talk with you. You'll be joining an office that values reliability and treats coverage shifts as a real contribution, not just a stopgap.
