Liaising politely and professionally with hospital ward staff and patients to ensure minimal disruption during your work.
Following strict health, safety, and hospital cleanliness protocols.

You don’t need a background in ventilation, but you do need the right attitude and a practical mindset.
The ideal candidate will have:
Great People Skills: You will be working in a bustling hospital environment. A friendly, respectful, and empathetic manner with patients and busy ward staff is essential.
A Hands-On Approach: Basic practical skills and familiar with the use of simple hand tools.
An Eager to Learn Attitude: We want someone keen to absorb new information, ask questions, and take pride in their work.
Reliability and Attention to Detail: Working in a healthcare setting means standards are high, and turning up on time with a sharp eye for cleanliness is key.
Why Join Us
We don't just offer a job; we offer a long-term career path.
Comprehensive Training: Full on-the-job training alongside an experienced team.
Industry Qualifications: Once you have settled into the role, we will fund and support you to gain recognised industry certifications, such as TR19 Air and TR19 Grease.
A Rewarding Environment: Work in a role where your daily efforts directly contribute to the health and safety of hospital patients and staff.
