What you’ll do

• Be of assistance to all Patients as required.
• Any other reasonable duties that may be required in Hospitals.
• To remain updated on the Hospital’s Policies and Procedures on Health & Safety, Fire and Evacuation Procedures.
• To perform any tasks specifically assigned to you.
• To carry out any other tasks assigned by the Supervisor or designee.
