An opportunity has arisen to join our busy Facilities Team at Rampton Hospital working as a Facilities Assistant/Driver in our Transport and Portering Departments.

Flexibility is essential, as the service need dictates a 24/7 coverage to accommodate patient movement. Working 5 days in a 7 day period, between the core hours of 06.00 - 22.00hrs, with weekend working required. There is also a requirement to participate in an “on call” service on a rotation basis to cover emergency patient movement out of hours.

Further details will be discussed at Interview.

All applicants must have held a full British Driving Licence for more than five years and prior to be offered a position will be expected to successfully undertake a Group 2 Medical which will be arranged by the Trust.

There is an expectation if Category C1 & D1 Entitlement are not held applicants must be willing to undertake relevant training to achieve this licence category.

To provide a transportation service to Hospitals, Prisons, Courts and various other destinations in the country and portering duties Work would need to be prioritised and service standards should be maintained. Driving duties would take priority.
