• Escort patients safely within the department and between clinical areas
• Maintain a clean, well-stocked and safe imaging environment
• Support departmental administration, including image transfers and data handling in line with GDPR

What you’ll bring:

• UK hospital experience within a clinical environment
• A Care Certificate or equivalent is essential
