Job Description

Healthcare never stops and neither does HATS. We have various shifts available and they will involve working weekends and will require you to be flexible as they may include early starts or late finishes.

You will be caring and compassionate and have a great ability to talk to patients. If you enjoy being out and about, meeting and helping people and are committed to delivering a great patient experience, please get in touch.

You will be responsible for transporting patients to and from hospital appointments and ensuring they are safe and well cared for.
