Job Description

Join Our Team as a Patient Transporter – Where Every Day is an Adventure!

Do you enjoy helping people and making a real difference in their day? Are you ready to keep things moving with a smile? We’re looking for a Patient Transporter to help ensure our patients and visitors get where they need to go – with care, speed, and a lot of heart!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Rolling into Action! Transport patients, visitors, specimens, and equipment all around the hospital. Whether it’s admissions, transfers, or discharges – you’re the friendly face they can count on!

• Greet and Meet: You’ll greet and assist patients and visitors like a pro, offering a comforting word or friendly smile whenever it’s needed.

• Be the Hero: In emergency situations, you’ll spring into action with your training to keep everything running smoothly.

• Team Player: Work closely with doctors, nurses, and staff to ensure patients are safely moved to where they need to go – and make the experience as comfortable as possible.

What We’re Looking for:

Minimum Requirements:

• BLS Certified: You’ll complete a recognized BLS (Basic Life Support) course and keep your certification up to date to make sure you're ready for any situation.

• Communication Skills: A good chat goes a long way! You’ll need to communicate well with everyone – from patients to doctors and staff – so people always feel comfortable and cared for.

• Follow the Plan: Ability to follow both verbal and written instructions to make sure everything goes smoothly.

• Strength and Stamina: Ability to lift up to 50 pounds without assistance. Heavy lifting? No worries – we'll have help for that!

• Walk the Walk: You'll be on your feet, walking and moving all day long, ensuring that patients and equipment are where they need to be.

• Training Ready: You'll complete training for key skills like oxygen transport, customer service, equipment maintenance, and Code Blue procedures.

Bonus Points (Preferred Qualifications):

• Education: A high school diploma or GED is great, and if you’ve completed a medical terminology course – even better!

• Hospital Experience: Have you worked in a hospital before? Fantastic! If you have experience with patient transport and equipment care, we’d love to hear from you.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us:

• Every day is different, and you’ll be helping to make someone’s day just a little bit better.

• You’ll be part of an amazing team that cares about each other and the people we serve.

• There’s always something new to learn, and we’ll give you all the tools you need to succeed.

Ready to be the hero of our hospital’s transport team? Apply now and help us keep things moving – literally!
