DaVita Patient Care Technician Position
DaVita is seeking a Patient Care Technician passionate about giving life in an outpatient dialysis center. You can make a significant difference in the lives of patients and their families dealing with end-stage renal failure or chronic kidney disease. Are you committed to delivering care with empathy and compassion?
If nephrology is new to you, we encourage you to consider this opportunity.
Joining DaVita as a Patient Care Technician (PCT) offers an exciting start in healthcare. With paid, extensive training, you'll develop the skills needed to care for patients and connect with healthcare professionals across your region. After training, you'll join a dedicated team of nurses, dietitians, social workers, and experienced PCTs to provide comprehensive care. This is more than a job—it's a career driven by passion and purpose.
Our mission at DaVita, which means "giving life" in Italian, is to provide quality service to patients, partners, and teammates. We aim to be the Provider, Partner, and Employer of Choice.
Our PCTs find fulfillment in their roles. We offer clear pathways for advancement through our Clinical Ladders program. Additionally, through DaVita's Bridge to your Dreams program, teammates in good standing for six months are eligible for tuition assistance to become a DaVita RN and earn an Associate Degree in Nursing. We also provide training to become a Facility Administrator or Regional Operations Director. Your success depends on your performance and motivation.
