Patient Care Technician

Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician - CCHT

DaVita UK delivers life-saving kidney care to over 2,000 patients across England & Wales. DaVita UK is one of the 14 countries which form DaVita International focusing on transforming care and improving quality of life for people receiving dialysis treatment globally. When you join the DaVita Village, you're joining a winning team with Community First, Company Second culture.

We're proud to be an independent, nurse-led provider, working in partnership with the NHS to deliver the highest standards of care using cutting-edge technology in welcoming, modern environments.

This position will be based out of Lombard, but will cover additional locations in the area such as Burbanae, Lombard, Lakeland, Hoffman Estates, Rockford and Arlington Heights. Ability to travel to Minneapolis is a plus, but not required.

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.

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.

You must have:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Physical and mental ability to work long hours (some shifts are 12+ hours) on your feet so wear comfortable shoes! Our work ends when it's safe for our patients.
• Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Word and Outlook.

You might also have (a.k.a. nice-to-haves):

• Training/Teaching/Healthcare Education background

More than just pay, our DaVita Rewards package connects teammates to what matters most including:

• Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off, PTO cash out
• Paid training: DaVita offers all new dialysis teammates a very structured and robust, PAID training program to help you learn the right dialysis skills to keep you on track every step of the way, with hands on learning on the clinical floor with patients.

At DaVita, we strive to be a community first and a company second. We want all teammates to experience DaVita as "a place where I belong." Our goal is to embed Diversity & Belonging into everything we do in our Village, so that it becomes part of who we are. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
