Our free-standing, modern facility is located on the Campus of the University of Connecticut Health Center and Medical School. The office is a state-wide medical examiner system charged with the investigation of sudden and unexpected deaths that by statute fall under our jurisdiction. Our agency operates 24/7/365 performing these death investigations.
The durational Clerk Typist position is centered within our Medical Records Department. Every investigation we perform results in a permanently maintained record and requests for those records are regularly received. Our Medical Records staff also handle the Reception Area of our agency – where they greet and sign-in visitors and triage telephone calls.
The durational Clerk Typist will perform duties ranging from receiving visitors and triaging incoming telephone calls (reception area duties) to filing, scanning, correspondence and data entry as it pertains to our permanent medical records, and other related duties as required.
The durational Clerk Typist should be an individual who is comfortable working in an Agency that investigates death, and working with the parties who seek the information we have (grieving families, police departments, doctors and funeral homes). At times the work may be emotional or even uncomfortable. Sensitivity, maturity and professionalism are paramount.
