Theatre Porter

We are looking to recruit enthusiastic, motivated and energetic individuals to join our busy team of Theatre Porters.

Experience is not essential as full training will be given. The role does require the physical action of transferring patients around the hospital, on beds and Trolleys. This position does involve shift work, which includes nights and weekends although flexible working may be available.

You will have good interpersonal skills, with the ability to work as part of a team in a demanding physical role as an essential part of the Theatre team.

Benefits and opportunities

Enhanced unsocial working rates across nights and weekends

Competitive bank rates for additional work

A weekend waiting list initiative at double time

A unique new starter program, to ensure your transition into our department is a smooth one, guiding you through a training package to suit your needs, along with mentors and line managers for added support and security.

You will be required to assist in the transferring of patients to and from the Operating Department, transferring equipment between theatres and taking specimens/blood to the Pathology Labs as required, helping to ensure the smooth running of the Operating Department.

At the RUH we're proud to put people at the heart of what we do, working together as one team to make a difference for our patients, each other, and our community. No matter what your role is, we value everyone's contribution in supporting the exceptional, person-centred care we pride ourselves on.

We are committed to creating a compassionate and inclusive environment. This can be seen in our growing community of staff networks - celebrating successes and creating opportunities to listen and learn. We value our differences, champion kindness and civility, and truly believe that diversity makes us stronger.

A culture of learning, developing and innovating is the thread that runs throughout our whole organisation. We want to support you to thrive, taking your career to its full potential.

We value staff wellbeing, with a well-established programme of support. We believe in a holistic approach spanning all aspects of living a healthy life, including physical, emotional, spiritual and financial wellbeing. We've even got a pool

We are committed to supporting you and hope you want to join our team. In the meantime, find out more about living and working the beautiful historic city of Bath, learn about our extensive package of staff benefits, and read about how we're providing healthcare fit for the future with the landmark Dyson Cancer Centre and our passion for research.
