Job description

The Porters are expected to be able to work in a variety of roles and departments throughout the trust in a highly physically demanding role moving patients and equipment around the entirety of the trust, including up the hill at North Street and around the exterior areas of the trust. Porters roles vary from day to day deployment so may require the collection, moving and emptying of large clinical and domestic waste bins weighing in excess of 60kg on the waste bay to moving a patient from Collingtree to Spencer in the general pool on stretchers, chairs and beds. The hazardous tasks within the role come from the manual handling of patients and equipment and fatigue as porters will walk on an average shift around 8 miles pushing a load so physical fitness is very important. There is also a level of mental resilience required within the role as there will be times where you will be expected to transfer deceased patients to our mortuary, attend cardiac arrests which may result in a patient passing away as well as support Emergency Department staff with ambulance arrivals.

successful candidates will be trained in all duties required for the role throughout the first month of working here to show in more detail what each of these roles entails
