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 go.

They must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross‑functional resources across the Village.

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 work in conjunction with dialysis RNs to provide dialysis care.

Your primary work schedule will be a Full‑Time position: The PCT will be based at our site dialysis den in the Premier Washington - Oak Springs facility and may be asked to support additional surrounding sites depending on business needs. Operations run Monday through Saturday. Scheduled days vary based on market needs.

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. Be on your toes at all times. You use your mind constantly and 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‑have):

• Training/Teaching/Healthcare Education background

What We Will Provide:

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.

DaVita is a clinical leader! We have the highest percentage of facilities meeting or exceeding CMS’s standards in the government's two key performance programs. We expect our teammates to commit to improving patient health through clinical goal setting and quality improvement initiatives.

Ready to make a difference in the lives of patients? Take the first step and apply now.

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 and comply with state and federal affirmative action…
