Blackburn, United Kingdom East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

At the Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital, our Patient Services Assistants (PSAs) support every in-patient during their stay with the Trust. You will work as part of a zone team, providing a general cleaning service, transferring patients around the hospital and ensuring specialist cleaning activity is delivered in a timely manner to meet the very high standards expected in this environment.

You will see patients through their whole hospital journey, so this can be a very challenging yet extremely rewarding experience, and your contribution will make a real difference to thousands of patients every year, whether you work around our medical, surgical or emergency areas of specialty.

We expect high levels of performance and attendance from everyone joining us and if you are looking for full-time, part-time, weekend or night shifts our team work 24/7, so we can offer the flexibility to move between these to best suit your changing personal circumstances.

**Shifts available**:
Monday to Friday 5pm-9pm

Effective communication in written and spoken English is essential for all members of our team, and you must be confident using computers, phones, radios and dealing with people in person, while using your training to provide the right service for the right patient at the right time.

A good standard of physical fitness is required in this role, as it involves climbing ladders, cleaning underneath beds and moving machinery and patients around the hospital. It can be uncomfortable working in this environment and you will wear Personal Protective Equipment all day to protect yourself, your colleagues and patients.

Our services cover every area of the hospital, so you could find yourself working around offices, wards, clinics or corridors. An essential part of this role is to support the dignified transfer of the deceased to the mortuary. There may also be occasions where you are required to work on one of our other sites to provide cover at times of pressure or increased demand.

The Patient Services model of working is unique to ELHT, bringing together the traditional roles of the Domestic and Porter to better support effective patient flow, improve communication and provide a flexible workforce to meet the needs of an ever developing hospital and health service.

As the largest single team in the Trust, we celebrate and promote diversity, actively support flexible working opportunities and look after our family - whether they stay with us for five, ten or fifty years. With some of the best work-related benefits available in East Lancashire, including low cost parking, gym memberships, union memberships and wellness campaigns all year round, ELHT offers an attractive package for every team member.

Undertaking general cleaning duties - including wards, clinics, toilets, offices and public areas within your zone.
