About this job

UP Health System puts the patient experience at the heart of

everything we do. This includes not only

providing the highest quality of patient care, but offering exemplary customer

service by creating an environment that puts our patients at ease. We accomplish this by embodying a culture

that is centered on our patients while supporting positivity and the growth of

our employees both professionally and personally.

Being a Care Aide on the UPHSM team means taking the time

and compassion to make our patients feel at home. You will coordinate with other disciplines

and departments under the guidance of a Registered Nurse in order to perpetuate

a spirit of quality, ethics, and patient satisfaction. This collaborative effort will help you

promote cost-effective, high quality patient outcomes by performing direct and

indirect patient care activities.

You will be joining a cohesive team of individuals with many

different skillsets which can provide you the opportunity to learn and grow. During the course of your day you will have

the chance to experience many different facets of the healthcare industry and to

make a significant impact on the people you come in contact with. Our Care Aides are hardworking and caring,

and they are proud to offer their patients the best possible service and

comfort that they can, every day.
