Patient Care Technician - Skilled Nursing Dialysis (DSD)

3-4 Days A Week, 12+ Hour Shifts

620 Parker Road, Maysville KY 41056

Are you looking to build long-term relationships with teammates and patients? Must be a certified hemodialysis technician.

DaVita Kidney Care is bringing our industry-leading clinical quality to patients on-site at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) through a new team called DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services. Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in an SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week, placing a significant burden on patients and adding avoidable costs to the health care system.

DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer, and will work to quickly leverage these to develop the infrastructure and rapidly grow the new service line. Ideal teammates have significant experience within DaVita, get energized by a start‑up type environment, improve the lives of patients, and have a track record of finding ways to GSD.

Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and demonstrate the ability to collaborate with cross‑functional resources across the Village.

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.

Operations function Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Scheduled days will vary based on market needs.

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

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.

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.

• Your training will include a combination of classroom and hands‑on learning, through DaVita’s award‑winning training programs.
• Training may take place in a facility or a training clinic with a class of new teammates other than your assigned home clinic.
• May be asked to support other local SNF dens.

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Word and Outlook

• Training/Teaching/Healthcare Education background

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

• 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.
