Dialysis Certified Patient Care Technician

DaVita•Westlake, OH

About The Position

DaVita is hiring a Certified Patient Care Technician (CCHT) for its Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Dialysis team at a new six-chair dialysis den in Westlake, Ohio. The technician works with dialysis registered nurses to provide care and is responsible for the ongoing care of each patient, helping ensure treatments stay on track. Most of the day is spent providing direct, one-on-one care and safe, comfortable, hygienic dialysis treatment. The role involves monitoring patients before, during, and after treatment, recording measurements and observations, and setting up hemodialysis machines. It requires multitasking, independent judgment, and attention to clinical outcomes and the needs of patients and SNF partners. The position is expected to follow a three-day-per-week schedule with no on-call requirement. Training combines classroom and hands-on learning and may take place at another DaVita site before the new den opens. The technician may also be asked to support other local SNF dialysis dens.
