Denver General Hospital Careers: Jobs & Hiring Info

Denver Health traces its history to Denver’s public hospital system. Its historical materials document the Denver General name and explain that the organization became the Denver Health and Hospital Authority in 1997.

Today, current vacancies appear under Denver Health. That includes hospital jobs, outpatient jobs, community health center positions, Denver CARES roles, EMS careers, physician positions, administrative jobs and Denver Health Medical Plan employment.

*Denver Health’s Medical Assistant careers page publishes a general MA pay range. Individual job postings control the actual salary, shift, FTE and requirements.

Denver Health Workday listings commonly identify the salary range, work type, shift, FTE and job location. Read those fields together.

Denver Health provides application-status guidance for candidates. After signing into the candidate system, review the applications associated with your account instead of submitting a duplicate application because you have not yet received a response.

Paid time off and holidays

Denver Health also lists seven paid holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

The official nursing career page recommends using Nurse in the Job Title field and then narrowing the search with terms such as Charge Nurse, LPN, New Nursing Graduate, Nurse Manager or Nurse Supervisor.

Denver Health’s current residency information says applications are reviewed Monday through Friday and can be forwarded to hiring managers quickly when minimum qualifications are met.

The program also states that candidates who are not advanced receive notification, rather than applicants being expected to guess whether an application has disappeared from consideration.

Denver Health maintains a dedicated recruitment page for medical assistants and currently publishes a general pay range of approximately $20.00–$26.96 per hour for MA positions.

Denver Health describes the medical assistant role as supporting nurses, providers and patient navigators with patient-care functions. Exact duties depend on the clinic and specific vacancy.

Before applying for an MA role

• Check the exact education and certification requirements in the posting.
• Verify the work location; Denver Health has multiple outpatient sites.
• Compare hourly pay together with FTE and schedule.
• Include relevant active credentials in the application.
• Read specialty-specific duties before submitting.

Denver Health says its paramedic team handles more than 117,000 911 calls per year across the City and County of Denver, Englewood, Glendale, Sheridan and parts of unincorporated Arapahoe County.

Denver Health currently lists EMS Captain Arthur Oliveros as an employment contact for the Paramedic Division: 303-602-2566.

Denver Health recruits physicians and other advanced clinical providers within an academic safety-net system. Some physician positions combine clinical practice, education and academic responsibilities.

Physician applicants should read the individual position carefully for board certification, fellowship training, Colorado licensure eligibility, academic appointment expectations and specialty-specific qualifications.

Job shadowing

Denver Health directs job-shadowing and educational internship questions through its Office of Education, not through Volunteer Services or a clinical department.

The published Office of Education contact route includes 303-602-6623.

Volunteering is different from employment

Denver Health’s Volunteer Services materials explicitly separate volunteering from Human Resources. Volunteering should not be treated as a guaranteed pathway to paid employment.

Denver Health’s current public parking information identifies several options around the main campus. For an interview, confirm whether you are expected to use visitor parking or another location.

Valet parking

Patient/visitor valet is available at the Outpatient Medical Center entrance for $5 per car. Denver Health currently lists weekday drop-off from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and pickup from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m..

Questions worth clarifying during the hiring process

• Which building or clinic is the normal work location?
• What shift or rotating schedule applies?
• What FTE is attached to the position?
• Does the role require weekends or holidays?
• What licenses/certifications must be active by the start date?
• Is orientation conducted on a different schedule from the permanent shift?
• When does benefit eligibility begin for this employment status?
• What employee parking or transit option applies to this worksite?

1. Do not search only “Denver General Hospital.” Use Denver Health when looking for current vacancies.
2. Do not apply without checking the location. Denver Health jobs can be at the hospital, Denver CARES, outpatient buildings, community clinics, EMS sites or Denver Health Medical Plan.
3. Do not ignore license requirements. Many clinical vacancies require an active Colorado credential.
4. Do not compare salary without comparing FTE and shift. An hourly rate alone does not describe the actual work arrangement.
5. Do not use patient-service departments for recruiting questions. Use Workday, the HR Career Center or the specialty recruitment contact.
6. Do not assume a listed vacancy stays open indefinitely. Workday is the current source for whether a requisition is still accepting applications.
