Compassionate, Inclusive Culture

We show compassion and open acceptance to all of our patients and families – and to each other.

We Invest in Our People

Support for professional development is one reason Becker’s Hospital Review listed us as one of 150 Great Places to Work in Healthcare.

Our inclusive, collaborative culture is reflected in our ART service standards: Accountability, Respect, and Teamwork. We strive to be ARTful in all we do with every member of the team ⎼ patients, families and each other.

We prioritize the safety of both our patients and our employees. Work-life balance is important to us, and our benefits show it. In hiring, we aim to have a workforce that reflects our patient families. We serve our community with compassion.

All of this makes our people proud to be here. If you join our team, we trust you also will find Seattle Children’s a meaningful and fun place to work.

Start With Safety

Everyone at Seattle Children’s is responsible to create a safe environment for our patients, families and each other. We strive to be an error-free environment. We are transparent in providing information about patient safety.

Our safety culture includes reducing staff injuries and safeguarding our patients. We ensure staff have the support they need when faced with adversity.

Seattle Children’s is committed to being a drug-free workplace. We require a pre-employment drug screen and background check. The use of marijuana for medical purposes accompanied by a prescription, even if permitted by state law, will not be considered acceptable for purposes of explaining a positive lab test result for marijuana.

Valuing Workforce Diversity and Inclusion

The patients and families we serve at Seattle Children’s come from many backgrounds. They bring distinct values, family structures, strengths and needs. The same is true for the people who do their life’s work here.

The people who work at Seattle Children’s are members of a community that seeks to respect all the qualities that make each of us unique – race, gender, culture, lifestyles, physical and developmental challenges, ideas and beliefs.

Our community welcomes diverse experiences, backgrounds, and thoughts because this is what drives our spirit of inquiry and allows us to better connect with our increasingly diverse patients and families. Each of us is respectfully encouraged to be ourselves within this community, which cultivates and promotes diversity and inclusion at all levels.

Seattle Children's aims to have a workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We believe we give our patients better care by having staff whose beliefs, attitudes and life experiences are similar to those of our patient families.
