OT / dialysis technician
hospital core staff
- Remote
- Varies
- Qualification
- Typically B.Sc Allied Health Sciences.
What the work involves
Day to day
Preparing and running the technical side of operating theatres or dialysis units - setting up equipment, maintaining sterility, monitoring machines during treatment and responding when parameters drift.
Who this suits
Fit
Precise, calm people who want hands-on clinical work quickly. Dialysis in particular is expanding fast across smaller Indian cities as chronic kidney disease rises, so demand is not concentrated in metros.
The honest reality
Read this one
Long standing hours and on-call duty. Dialysis work means seeing the same chronically ill patients decline over months, which is emotionally heavier than the job description suggests. The pay ceiling is low without moving into supervision.
