About The Position

Your job is more than a job. As a Patient Care Tech, you’re on the front line of care. You’ve developed that sixth sense of anticipating and answering the needs of your patients. Your responsibilities may not always be easy, but you firmly believe that your growth starts where your comfort zone ends. You’re a healthcare warrior and you gather every ounce of kindness, respect and empathy at your patient’s bedside delivering care like you would want for yourself and your loved ones. All the call lights, hand holds, medical needs, family questions, and even a proverbial ‘extra blanket” request, you’ve lost count, but you still bring your heart and soul to every single one like it’s your first. And that’s what we love about you. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your “little something extra” all add up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this hands-on, personal care nursing role.
