Give Life In A Truly Fun And Rewarding Career

Are you looking to build long-term relationships with teammates and patients? Join DaVita Kidney Care as a Patient Care Technician - Skilled Nursing Dialysis (DSD) in Fairfield, OH - Majestic Care of Fairfield. This role offers 3-4 days a week, 12+ hour shifts. Must be OCDT Certified in the state of Ohio.

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 a SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week, placing a significant burden on patients and adding significant 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 will have significant experience within DaVita, get energized by a start-up type environment and improving the lives of patients, and have a track record of finding ways to GSD. Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross-functional resources across the Village.
