Job overview

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.

A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is required for this post; however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.

Main duties of the job

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.

Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa.
Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.
Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
