Boston Children’s jobs: how to search, apply, track your application and get hired

Boston Children’s Hospital careers cover far more than doctors and nurses. The official employment portal currently organizes openings across administrative services, advanced practice, allied health, corporate services, hospital support, internships, nursing and research.

Applicants can filter current vacancies by keyword, job category, regular/temporary/per-diem status, work location and remote eligibility. Every listing should be reviewed individually because schedule, pay range, required credentials and onsite/hybrid status vary by position.

The main Boston campus is at 300 Longwood Ave., Boston, MA 02115, but Boston Children’s also recruits for satellite locations and community-based facilities throughout Massachusetts and the Northeast.

  • Number of applications.
  • Urgency of the vacancy.
  • The recruiting team’s review process.
  • Hiring-manager availability.

If Talent Acquisition would like to speak with you, a member of the team will contact you directly.

Can you update your resume after applying?

Careers applicant support careers@childrens.harvard.edu
