Job Overview

As a Patient Care Technician (PCT), you'll work closely with nurses to provide hands-on care and support to patients throughout their hospital stay. Your daily work will include assisting with personal hygiene such as bathing, brushing teeth, toileting, and changing linens; helping patients with mobility, repositioning, and transfers; monitoring and recording vital signs; documenting important information in patient charts; and providing compassionate support, including care for patients nearing the end of life. You must be able to safely lift and/or move up to 50 pounds with or without reasonable accommodation.
