Patient Care Technician

Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician (CCHT)

The schedule is likely to be three days per week with no on-call. The primary location is at DaVita SNF Dialysis at Haven Sky Harbor at 1880 E Van Buren St Phoenix, AZ 85006. The CCHT must be willing to support other DaVita SNF Dialysis dens if needed. The local DaVita SNF dens are located at Plaza in Scottsdale, Resolve in Phoenix, and Palm Valley in Goodyear.

What you can expect:

In this role, you take 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.

Patient Care: Spending the majority of your day in direct one-on-one patient care to provide safe, comfortable and hygienic dialysis treatment.

Complexity: DSD Dialysis care is a complex but fulfilling service line. Meeting and/or exceeding clinical outcomes are the goals and multitasking is an expectation to meet the needs of the service, the patients and our SNF partners.

Autonomy and Critical Thinking: Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times. You use your mind constantly. You apply your "core" skills to monitor patients before, during and after dialysis treatment including measuring and recording stats, patient observations, and hemodialysis machine setup. There's a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.
