As a Patient Safety Attendant, you’ll provide continuous, in‑room observation and be a calming, reassuring presence for patients who require close monitoring.

• Function under the supervision of a licensed nurse as part of an interdisciplinary care team

What We’re Looking For

• High School Diploma or GED required
• Ability to stay attentive for extended periods and follow safety protocols
• Strong communication skills and a calm, dependable demeanor
• Commitment to patient dignity, safety, and confidentiality
• Weekend availability as part of schedule commitment
