Patient Care Technician

***This is a FT Night position***

As a bedside caregiver, IU Health is seeking a Patient Care Technician (also known as a Patient Care Assistant or PCA) who will provide a phenomenal patient experience by anticipating the needs of patients such as providing drinks, assisting with meal ordering, encouraging walking, assisting with baths, and providing clean linens and gowns.

Our PCA's have compassion for our patients, a caring bedside manner, and an ability to work in a fast paced environment. They will provide clinical assistance to the bedside RN by obtaining vital signs and reporting abnormalities or changes in a patient's behavior to the primary RN or charge nurse in order to detect and provide rapid treatment. A PCA always keeps patients safe by utilizing safety measures such as gait belts, bed and chair alarms, and staying within arm's reach of patients when moving around. If you are seeking a role where you can provide meaningful care to IU Health patients, we want to hear from you.

As part of an award winning hospital system, our roles include:

  • Outstanding benefit package for part time and full time positions

  • Development opportunities & tuition reimbursement

Apply teamwork. Apply experience. Apply skill. Apply yourself. And together we can change everything.
