Facilities Assistant - Driver
An opportunity has arisen within 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 a requirement to participate in an “on call” service on a rotation basis to cover emergency patient movement out of hours, therefore the successful applicant, when on call, must have a maximum response time of 30 minutes from home to Rampton.
All applicants must hold a full UK Manual British Driving Licence, C1 & D1 categories are desirable but not essential.
All applicants will be expected to successfully undertake a Group 2 Medical which will be arranged by the Trust and a DVLA Drivers Licence Check.
Responsibilities
To primarily support the Transport Department in providing a service to transport patients to Hospitals, Prisons, Courts and various other destinations in the country.
There is also a requirement to support the Portering Department working in our main stores, delivering and collecting items from around the hospital and also to work in our waste management centre.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Driving duties would take priority.
Requirements
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
