About this list
Healthcare jobs in Illinois
Illinois currently lists 6,423 active healthcare positions on Waypoint, sourced nightly from hospital ATS feeds. Roles span 8 hospital systems and 190 cities, with the highest concentration at CommonSpirit, Northwestern Medicine, and HSHS.
Each listing on this page links directly to the hospital's own application system. Waypoint does not collect resumes or act as a recruiting agent on the jobseeker side — we're a free directory funded by hospitals paying for boosted placement on roles they want filled fastest. Filter by city in the dropdown above, or browse a specific specialty through the navigation tags.
For salary research, the wage pages at /wages/state/il aggregate the hospital-published RN, allied-health, and DI pay scales we've collected from each system's transparency disclosures. Pay varies sharply by city and shift — Bay Area ICU rates frequently exceed $90/hr, while rural med-surg roles in the same state can sit closer to $40/hr. Wage data is reproduced verbatim from the source hospital and is not negotiated through Waypoint.

Do I apply through Waypoint, or directly with the hospital?
Directly with the hospital. Every "Apply" button on this page is a deep link into the hospital's own Workday, Taleo, or Oracle HCM system. We don't see your resume and we don't pass it along — your relationship is with the employer.
Why isn't my hospital listed for Illinois?
We currently cover roughly 2,775 hospital systems. If yours isn't here, the most likely reason is it sits on an ATS we haven't built a scraper for yet (commonly: small private systems on iCIMS or in-house portals). Email info@waypointrecruit.com with the careers URL and we'll prioritize it.
