Downey, CA, United States Savant Senior Living Full time

A Home Health Courier is a specialized driver responsible for the safe, timely, and confidential transportation of medical items between healthcare facilities, laboratories, pharmacies, and patient homes. The role demands a high level of attention to detail and adherence to strict safety and privacy regulations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Transportation of Medical Items: Couriers transport a variety of items, including lab specimens (blood, tissue), medications, medical supplies and equipment, and patient records/documents.
  • Route Planning and Timeliness: Plan and follow the most efficient routes to ensure all deliveries are made on a set schedule or in response to urgent requests, such as transporting organs for transplant.
  • Safe Handling and Compliance: Strictly follow safety protocols for handling sensitive or biohazardous materials and temperature-sensitive items, often using specialized containers or temperature-controlled transport.
  • Documentation and Record-Keeping: Maintain accurate records of all pickups and deliveries, including date, time, location, and recipient signatures, and report any issues or delays to dispatch immediately.
  • Vehicle Maintenance: Conduct routine inspections to ensure the delivery vehicle (which may be company-provided or personal) is clean, well-maintained, and fueled for safe operation.
  • Customer Service and Professionalism: Interact with patients, families, and healthcare staff in a courteous and professional manner while maintaining patient confidentiality in compliance with HIPAA guidelines.
  • Equipment Handling (for some roles): Certain positions may require the courier to assist with the setup and basic instruction on the usage of home medical equipment for patients.
Qualifications and Skills
  • Education: A high school diploma or equivalent is typically required.
  • Driving Credentials: A valid driver's license and a clean driving record are non-negotiable.
  • Physical Stamina: The role can be physically demanding, requiring the ability to lift and move packages or equipment up to 50 pounds (or more in some cases) and be on your feet for extended periods.
  • Core Competencies: Punctuality, reliability, strong time management, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills are essential for success.
  • Background Checks: Background checks and a medical exam (in accordance with DOT or other regulations) are standard parts of the hiring process.
  • Certifications: While not always required to start, obtaining certifications related to medical handling protocols, biohazard safety (OSHA), and HIPAA compliance can improve employability and career prospects.


Work Environment

Home Health Couriers spend most of their workday on the road, traveling between various locations. They work independently but stay connected with dispatchers and the rest of the care team. The role may involve working variable shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, to meet time-sensitive demands.

Pay scale $23-$25 per hour
