As a Porter at our Exeter Hospital, you’ll need to be a good communicator, as this role involves helping our patients to feel relaxed and reassured, before and after surgery.

• Be part of a close-knit professional team
• Collect and return patients to their individual rooms, before and after surgery
• Work with your colleagues to ensure that the theatre environment and its equipment are fully functioning
• Help with the cleaning of the theatre environment and equipment
• Work in a fast-moving clinical environment
• Maintain constant and effective interaction with our theatre team
• Helping you feel good.

We want you to love coming to work, feeling healthy, happy and valued. That’s why we’ve developed a benefits package with you in mind. Holiday in line with the Working Time Directive, Access to our Pension Scheme and discounted gym membership at £35.00 a month.

Working on the bank means you are not contracted to a set number of hours per week but instead work on an ad-hoc basis to suit the needs of the business and your availability.
