The Dialysis Technician is responsible for providing safe and effective hemodialysis treatments in an acute care hospital setting. This role supports Dialysis, ICU, and Vascular Access departments and provides care to adult and geriatric patients.

Post-treatment care including blood return and access care is also required.

This is a part-time contract position in an acute care environment.
