Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for enthusiastic individuals to join our wonderful Portering and Security Team as we are looking to expand our efficient and high quality service here at Broomfield Hospital therefore enhancing and improving the service offered to all our patients, visitors, and staff.
You will also benefit from flexibility as these posts offer a variety of shifts including nights and weekends and we are happy to discuss Full Time and Part Time offers. Previous experience of working in a portering/security role within a hospital environment would be an advantage, but not essential as we offer full-training and support for all our staff.
So, if you enjoy socialising with a variety of people or are someone who prefers an active role rather than an office job, then we are looking for you?
Advert
You will be a vital member of the MSE team, undertaking several different roles which include transportation of patients, specimens, goods, blood products, medical gases, and equipment around the site to facilitate the smooth running of the clinical departments and the hospital.
The job is physical in nature and includes the transportation of patients by wheelchair, patient trolley or bed, internally and externally. You will be working with patients so experience of working in a service environment is needed and requires good communication skills.
You will need to have the ability to respond to emergency calls in a calm and professional manner. The role also requires you to undertake mortuary duties including movement of bodies from wards to the mortuary in a courteous, sympathetic manner.
Working for our organisation
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest in the country, with a workforce of approximately 15,000 who serve a population of 1.2 million people.
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking, and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
As part of a multidisciplinary team, provide an effective, timely delivery and collection service which supports all aspects of clinical and non-clinical services. These include but are not limited to:
Help members of the public
Transferring patients
Moving furniture
Transporting specimens and samples
Transferring deceased patients to the Mortuary
