About The Position

DaVita Kidney Care is bringing its industry-leading clinical quality to patients on-site at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) through a new team called DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services. This role involves taking 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. The primary work schedule will be a Part-Time position, based at The Laurels of Huber Heights, with potential support for additional surrounding sites. Operations function Monday through Saturday, with scheduled days varying based on market needs. Patient care involves spending the majority of the day in direct one-on-one patient care to provide safe, comfortable, and hygienic dialysis treatment. DSD Dialysis care is a complex but fulfilling service line where meeting and/or exceeding clinical outcomes are the goals, and multitasking is an expectation to meet the needs of the service, the patients, and SNF partners. This role requires providing comprehensive patient care in an independent setting, constantly using critical thinking skills to monitor patients before, during, and after dialysis treatment, including measuring and recording stats, patient observations, and hemodialysis machine setup. The training for this role includes a combination of classroom and hands-on learning through DaVita’s award-winning training programs, which may take place in a facility or a training clinic.
