If you’re a healthcare professional working in adult settings who has always dreamed of transitioning into pediatrics, we have a place for you at Children’s Colorado. Here, we welcome qualified clinical team members with or without pediatric experience. For some positions, we even provide opportunities for hands-on training to help you feel confident caring for kids.
Why work in pediatric healthcare
It takes a special kind of person to care for sick kids — someone who is caring, curious and dedicated to helping kids stay healthy. With a career in pediatrics, you can make a lasting impact on children and their families and help ensure that they have a bright and healthy future.
As a pediatric nurse, respiratory therapist, radiology technologist or other clinical provider, you are a trusted member of every patient’s care team. You can tap into your creativity to help ease children’s fears and caregivers’ concerns during a procedure or hospital stay, while also providing comprehensive and lifesaving care when they need it.
It’s different here at Children’s Colorado
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice that this place is special. From little red wagons in our atrium to the artwork on our walls and the amenities we offer, our hospitals were designed to enhance healing and make every visit or extended stay more comfortable.
This attention to detail extends to our team members, who play a vital role in our mission and vision to improve and reimagine children's healthcare. When you build your career in pediatrics at Children’s Colorado, you’re joining a multidisciplinary team that provides patients and families with the highest level of care and service.
It’s no wonder we’re the number one children’s hospital in the state and region.
