Who is SedMed?

SedMed is a venture-backed, Connecticut-based medical equipment company uniquely addressing the $42 billion assistive technology market opportunity. The 
SedMed toilet Lift Assist

improves the safety and independence of those who struggle with activities of daily living and reduces injuries to healthcare workers. We have designed and manufactured the only hydraulic toilet seat lifter that mounts onto any toilet with 2 bolts and in 2 minutes. SedMed provides up to 80% assistance in raising a user's body weight on/off the toilet using no electricity.

Why is this important?

• People 85 and older suffer more than 50% of injuries near the toilet
• The average healthcare workers' compensation claim is ~$42,000; 24% of those claims are due to overexertion

Location

: Flexible — must be able to travel to client hospitals and facilities in the New England Region and around the country (travel reimbursed). HQ office in Woodbridge CT.

About the Role:

SedMed is looking for a clinically experienced, boots-on-the-ground type of person to help bridge the gap between our technology and frontline care teams. We need someone who knows how to speak the language of CNAs, PCAs, and RNs—and who isn't afraid to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and be hands-on in real-world use.

This is a contract, per diem opportunity that offers flexibility and is structured on a 1099 basis. The demand is rising rapidly for the needs of this role. You'll be our go-to clinical partner for implementation, training, and troubleshooting in rehab and hospital settings, helping ensure SedMed becomes a meaningful part of the patient care workflow.

What You'll Do:

• Be on-site during onboarding, implementation, or follow-up visits with clients (on-demand, as needed)
• Train and support nursing staff (PCAs, CNAs, RNs) on SedMed device usage
• Get hands on with the device and patient handling training
• Investigate adoption progress directly with staff—ask questions, observe workflows, and provide actionable feedback
• Encourage and coach staff on patient handling best practices using the device
• Help troubleshoot common objections
• Collaborate with the SedMed team to improve training strategies and materials

Who Are You:

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on nursing/ patient care experience in hospital settings. We're looking for someone who's been directly involved in patient care—who understands the challenges frontline staff face and can speak their language.
• Curious, investigative, and not afraid to ask "why" - Very Important
• Clinical background (RN, PCA or CNA); experience in hospitals or rehab settings is a must
• Energetic and persuasive—you know how to encourage buy-in without being overbearing
• Comfortable communicating with frontline staff and leadership
• Flexibility availability; able to show up on-site when needed and willing to travel
• Experience with patient handling or DME is a plus

Engagement Type:

• Part-time / On-call / Contract
• Travel required to client sites (CT, NY, PA, and likely other states)

Compensation:

SedMed will compensate on a per diem basis, and for needs less than 8 hours, SedMed will pay at an hourly rate. Please note that the per diem rate can exceed 8 hours spent at a facility/hospital (for example, to train multiple shifts, though not necessarily working the entire time).

• Per diem rate: $320/day. This may include a full-day schedule (e.g., up to 12 hours at a hospital to cover multiple staff shifts).
• Hourly rate: $40/hour for jobs less than the per diem.
• Payment schedule: Agent per diem and hourly compensation will be paid on a bi-weekly basis for days and/or hours worked during each two-week period.

Travel reimbursement:

• Mileage reimbursed
• Airfare, rental cars, rideshare/taxis, and other necessary transportation are fully covered.
• Meals during travel are reimbursable.
• Travel time: Travel time itself is not separately compensated beyond the daily or hourly rate.
