Patient Care Tech - DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis (DSD)

3-4 Days A Week, 12+ Hour Shifts

The address for this location is 5520 Broadview Rd. Parma, OH

DaVita Kidney Care is bringing our industry-leading clinical quality to patients on-site at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) through a new team called DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services.  Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week placing a significant burden on patients and adding significant avoidable costs to the health care system. DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer, and will work to quickly leverage these to develop the infrastructure and rapidly grow the new service line. Ideal teammates will have significant experience within DaVita, get energized by a start-up type environment and improving the lives of patients, and have a track record of finding ways to GSD. Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross-functional resources across the Village.

What you can expect:

In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track. PCTs will work in conjunction with dialysis RNs to provide dialysis care.

Your primary work schedule will be a Full-Time position: The PCT will be based at our site dialysis den in the Premier Washington - Oak Springs facility and may be asked to support additional surrounding sites depending on business needs. Operations function Monday through Saturday. Scheduled days will vary based on market needs.

Complexity: DSD Dialysis care is a complex but fulfilling service line.  Meeting and/or exceeding clinical outcomes are the goals and multitasking is an expectation to meet the needs of the service, the patients and our SNF partners.

Autonomy and Critical Thinking: Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times. You use your mind constantly. You apply your "core" skills to monitor patients before, during and after dialysis treatment including measuring and recording stats, patient observations, and hemodialysis machine setup. There's a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.

You must have:

• High school diploma or equivalent

•

Physical and mental ability to work long hours (some shifts are 12+ hours) on your feet so wear comfortable shoes! Our work ends when it's safe for our patients.

• Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Word and Outlook.

You might also have (a.k.a. nice-to-haves):

• Training/Teaching/Healthcare Education background

What We’ll Provide:

More than just pay, our DaVita Rewards package connects teammates to what matters most including:

• Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off, PTO cash out
• Paid training: DaVita offers all new dialysis teammates a a very structured and robust, PAID training program to help you learn the right dialysis skills to keep you on track every step of the way, with hands on learning on the clinical floor with patients.
