What would a working day look like?

You’re working early shifts this week and you’ve been tasked with moving medical equipment from the third floor of the Abbey Wing to the Day Surgery Unit on the ground floor. The equipment is very valuable and delicate, so you use your skills and expertise to move it.

Then you’re off to Fountains Ward to take a patient to the x-ray department. You wait until the x-ray is taken and then bring them back to their ward.

The rest of your shift is spent moving patients around the hospital and delivering stocks of emergency drugs to the right wards.

You are an essential part of the hospital team, working with so many different patients and members of staff.

What skills do you need for this role?

The postholder must be able to move heavy items easily and push them considerable distances. They must have good people skills and be able to work a number of shifts to meet the service's needs. 

Does this sound like you?

If so, and you’d like to work in a hospital environment and be an essential part of a healthcare team, this could be the role for you!
