Part Time Sterile Processing Technician Jobs

Part time SPD work pays roughly $18 to $32 an hour depending on facility type, market, and whether you hold CRCST. Some employers add $1 to $3 per hour for certified techs even on a part time schedule, so certification pays for itself faster here than it does on a 40-hour line. Instrument reprocessing runs every day a room runs, which is why these openings persist year round instead of appearing only at peak.

Where the shifts are

Who Hires Part Time

HCA HealthcareHospital

Large hospital footprint in Texas and Florida, where surgical volume creates standing coverage gaps.

Kaiser PermanenteIntegrated

Heaviest California presence; part time SPD lines posted across both hospitals and clinics.

AscensionHealth System

Multi-state community hospital network that staffs flexible SPD capacity year round.

CommonSpirit HealthHealth System

Wide geographic spread, useful if you want part time hours outside a major metro.

Strongest markets

California, Texas, Florida, and New York generate the most part time postings, because high surgical volume means the schedule never fully closes. If you are weighing where those hours actually land, compare hospital versus ambulatory surgery center work, since ASCs skew day-shift and hospitals carry the nights and weekends.

Questions

Part Time SPD FAQ

Do part time sterile processing jobs require certification?

Most employers prefer or require CRCST, and many attach a $1 to $3 hourly differential to it even part time. Start with the CRCST vs CBSPD comparison if you have not picked one yet.

What do part time SPD techs earn per hour?

The working range is $18 to $32 an hour, driven by facility type, location, and certification. Run your own market through the salary estimator before you accept a number.

Can you get a part time SPD job with no experience?

It is harder than full time. Part time lines usually assume you can work a tray independently on day one, so employers lean toward returning techs and retired SPTs. If you are new, read how to get hired with no experience and expect to start full time.
