The Portering Department at UHS are looking for a Porter to join our growing team.

Location: Southampton General Hospital
Contract: Full-time, shift-based (Days, Nights, Early and Twilight shifts across 7 days) 

About the Role

Our Portering team plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth and efficient running of the hospital every day of the week. As a Hospital Porter, you’ll be responsible for the safe and timely movement of patients, equipment, and essential medical items across the Trust, helping to keep our hospital operating seamlessly.

You’ll support clinical teams by transferring patients between wards, departments, and specialist areas such as X-ray or theatres, always ensuring their comfort, dignity, and safety. You’ll also assist with transporting laboratory specimens, blood products, medical equipment, and other vital supplies, as well as attending the helipad to support the Major Trauma team in transferring patients to the Emergency Department or other areas of the hospital.

This is a highly rewarding role where no two days are the same, and you’ll be a key part of the wider hospital team making a real difference to patient care.
