Ketamine Infusion Sitter
Neolytix
Caregiver assistant job in Amherst, MA

Assess the clients reaction to their environment and make changes to best suit their needs i.e. offer comfort by providing tissues, blankets, and cushions when and if needed.
Reassure the client about any fears or worries that have occurred during the session.
In the highly unlikely event of a medical emergency, the sitter will contact the nurse or physician who is immediately available in the other room.
Document significant client interactions
Contribute to the development and growth of our Sitter program
Be in touch with all ancillary treaters in coordination with other members of our treatment team
Since we work as a team, must be willing to help with any other aspect of clinic operations, including administrative tasks, errands, office maintenance, etc.
