What are the responsibilities and job description for the In-Home HHD Dialysis Care Partner (1:1 Client) – Oak Brook, Illinois position at Herewith Caregivers?
Location: Oak Brook, Illinois
Compensation: $25 per hour
Schedule: 5-6 days a week
Start Date: ASAP
About This Role
We are seeking a compassionate and reliable Care Partner who is open to supporting in-home dialysis for a patient who currently receives dialysis in a clinic and will transition to receiving treatments at home. This role provides consistent, one-on-one support, not an agency rotation, allowing you to build rapport and become a trusted part of his weekly care routine.
Training will be provided, including patient-specific dialysis processes, home setup guidance, and ongoing support from our clinical team to ensure you feel fully confident.
This position is ideal for someone who values patient dignity, understands the unique challenges of dialysis, and wants to make a meaningful impact during a major care transition.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Assist with dialysis treatment setup (Tableu or NxStage dialysis machine)
- Keep the treatment environment clean, organized, and safe
- Offer companionship and emotional reassurance
- Help the patient remain on schedule with treatment times
- Provide light ADL support as needed
- Monitor safety and report concerns to the coordinating nurse
- Maintain simple documentation and shift notes
Who We’re Looking For
- 1 year of dialysis experience (home or clinic)
- Familiarity with home dialysis systems preferred (Tableu or NxStage is a plus)
- Open to in-home dialysis support and willing to complete the provided training
- Steady, supportive, and patient — especially during an adjustment period
- Strong communicator who works well with a clinical team
- Must pass a Herewith background check
Why This Role Matters
This patient wants to remain safe and supported at home while managing her dialysis. Your presence ensures comfort, confidence, and stability as she begins her home-based treatments.
What We Offer
- Consistent, stable weekly hours with a single client
- Training and guidance on patient-specific routines
- Strong clinical team support
- The ability to work independently while still being part of a dedicated care network
