Bank Porter

Porters are the heartbeat of NHS hospitals, making sure crucial goods and items are delivered where they are needed most. Some Porters also make sure patients are at the right place at the right time to get the treatment they need.

We are immensely proud of our staff at Atlas. They have passion, professionalism and dedication to change peoples lives. If you share that passion, and if you want to make a difference, then come and join us at Atlas.

We provide a wide range of services to the NHS and are experiencing a period of growth. We are therefore pleased to be able to advertise the position of Bank Porter, to be based at Clifton Hospital, in order to cover periods of staff holidays, sickness, and other ad-hoc hours as required.
