Full Job Description

Located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, UPMC Mercy has many different opportunities for those looking to step into the healthcare field. If you are looking for an exciting opportunity, apply TODAY!

UPMC Mercy is currently hiring a full-time Care Attendant to support its 6E Brain Injury Rehab department!

6E is an 18-bed Traumatic Brain Injury Unit. We are ranked 7th in the nation by Newsweek. We specialize in providing a multidisciplinary approach to those recovering from traumatic brain injury and patients who have undergone a stroke and other neurological disorders. Our goal is assisting patients to achieve their highest level of function with a focus on discharging to home. We achieve this by emphasizing a teamwork approach across all disciplines. Nurses can work hand in hand with the top-rated physiatrist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech and language pathologist, and discharge plan managers to provide comprehensive care. We are also home to a phenomenally successful DOC (disorders of consciousness) program, that focuses on rehabilitation for this unique population.

Patient safety is a top priority at UPMC. Safety is not always as simple as sticking to protocols and double-checking details. Sometimes, patients necessitate observation to ensure their well-being.

Care Attendants are absolutely crucial to this goal, serving as a watchful set of eyes for the care team as well as a companion for the patient. Whether the patient is a fall risk, a flight risk, or simply in need of some extra attention, Care Attendants provide a steadfast presence in the room that communicates to the patient that they are safe and in good hands. Additionally, Care Attendants may assist on patient transfers, hygiene and personal care, and other comfort measures as needed.

For those inexperienced in health care, the Care Attendant role is a wonderful introduction to working directly with patients; for those with some health care experience, but who have yet to work in a hospital environment or have had limited contact with patients, the role is a great first step into the inpatient world.

Provides feedback to the RN regarding patient care and reports changes in patient status.
Completes clerical functions as needed by department.
