About The Position

The Patient Care Technician provides ongoing dialysis care to patients receiving treatment in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), working in conjunction with dialysis registered nurses. The role involves primarily direct, one-on-one patient care to ensure treatments are safe, comfortable, hygienic, and on track. It requires multitasking and independent judgment in a complex care setting, with a focus on clinical outcomes and the needs of patients and SNF partners. The technician monitors patients before, during, and after dialysis, measures and records relevant statistics, makes patient observations, and sets up hemodialysis machines. Training combines classroom and hands-on learning through DaVita training programs. The schedule is likely three days per week with no on-call duties. The primary work location is DaVita SNF Dialysis at Haven Sky Harbor in Phoenix; the technician may be asked to support other local SNF dialysis locations, including sites in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Goodyear, and must be willing to do so.
