DaVita Kidney Care • Reno, NV

26d • Onsite

About The Position

DaVita is hiring a Patient Care Technician for a new 6-chair SNF dialysis den in Reno, Nevada. The work site will be located at a skilled nursing facility, allowing patients to receive dialysis there rather than travel to an outpatient dialysis center. The role is expected to follow a three-day-per-week schedule with no on-call duty. Training may take place at another DaVita site before the new den launches, and the technician may be asked to support other local SNF dens.

The Patient Care Technician is responsible for patients’ ongoing care and works alongside dialysis registered nurses to provide dialysis care. The role focuses primarily on direct, one-on-one care, supporting safe, comfortable, and hygienic treatments. Technicians monitor patients before, during, and after dialysis, measure and record vital statistics, observe patient condition, and set up hemodialysis machines. The work requires multitasking, independent judgment, and critical thinking to meet clinical outcomes and the needs of patients and SNF partners.

Training combines classroom and hands-on learning through DaVita training programs. DaVita describes the role as part of its SNF Dialysis services, which bring dialysis care to skilled nursing facilities and provide teammates access to the company’s capabilities and resources.
