Do you have the passion to maintain high standards of treatment? Can you help provide an outstanding patient experience? Do you want to keep on learning, developing and building your skills?

We’re looking for a Dialysis Assistant to work closely with nurses and other medical staff in multi-disciplinary teams in our Dialysis Centres. Looking after individual patients, you will prepare equipment for treatment, monitor vital signs and assess, clean and redress catheter sites as required. You will ensure that equipment is kept clean and supplies are well-stocked, safely stored and used efficiently, while also keeping documentation up-to-date and administering medication when required.

Working under the supervision of a Registered Nurse, you will enjoy plenty of training, learning opportunities and development.

As an employer, we’re keen to look after our people with as much dedication as they look after our patients.
