Patient Care Technician Jobs

DaVita Kidney Care is expanding its skilled nursing facility dialysis services, delivering dialysis care to patients on-site through DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services. The Patient Care Technician (PCT) works with dialysis RNs and is responsible for patients’ ongoing care to help ensure treatments stay on track. The position is based at Laurels of Huber Heights in Dayton, Ohio, and may require supporting additional local skilled nursing facility sites according to business needs. The PCT spends most of the workday providing direct, one-on-one patient care and safe, comfortable, hygienic dialysis treatment. In an independent setting, the technician monitors patients before, during, and after treatment; measures and records statistics; observes patients; and sets up hemodialysis machines. The role requires multitasking, critical thinking, and attention to clinical outcomes while working with patients and skilled nursing facility partners. The primary schedule is full-time, typically 3–4 days per week with shifts of 12 or more hours. Operations run Monday through Saturday, and scheduled days vary by market needs. Training includes classroom instruction and hands-on learning through DaVita’s training programs; training may be at a facility or training clinic rather than the assigned home clinic. Hours may vary during training, typically ranging from 32 to 40 hours per week.
