Previous experience of working with the public and in a hospital setting is preferable.

Responsibilities include:

1. Assisting in the moving and transfer of patients in x-ray, CT, MRI, and Ultrasound examination rooms (including pat-sliding and log rolling following training).
2. Carrying out miscellaneous errands between departments and wards, including acting as a messenger if required.

At the RUH, we put people at the heart of what we do, working together as one team to make a difference for our patients, each other, and our community. We value everyone’s contribution in supporting person-centred care.
