Job description

We are recruiting for a Porter who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients

Are you looking for an opportunity to provide excellent care to our patients?

An opportunity has arisen within the portering department at East & North Hertfordshire NHS Trust for a general porter to join our team at Lister Hospital.

You will have a polite and responsive approach to patients, visitors and staff, with the ability to work a rotating shift pattern to meet the needs of our service.

Previous experience in a hospital or customer focused role is desirable but not essential as full training is given.

Our Values are Include, Respect and Improve. It is important that you understand and refer to our values during your recruitment process and beyond!

You will provide a portering service for the Lister and other Trust premises, undertaking general portering duties both of a routine and ad-hoc nature.

Main duties include the safe transfer of patients between wards and departments.

At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general & specialist services we provide & our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible & innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

We run the following hospitals:

• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
• Hertford County, Hertford
• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation; our staff & patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

We understand that finding and starting a new job is an important life decision. If you need reasonable adjustments for a disability, or a life event, such as menopause - so that we can consider your application fairly & to get the best out of you during the selection process, please let us know.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. Employees are entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns & we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made & considered formally, & will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
