A clinical decontamination centre in Aylesford is now looking for a Driver to join them and help ensure important medical equipment is efficiently collected, cleaned and returned, ready for the next procedure.
The centre is an important site for sterile services, where trained technicians process vital medical equipment from hospitals across London and the South East – both NHS and private – to be safely reused.
As a Driver, you will:
• Collect ‘dirty’ trolleys from hospitals and clinics, delivering them to the main facility and then returning ‘clean’ trolleys with sterilised trays;
• Operate and maintain your assigned vehicle(s), keeping accurate records;
• Provide reliable, courteous customer service with safety a top priority; and
• Carry other packages or goods between hospitals or units as required.
The decontamination centre is itself part of an independent medical care network, meaning that you will be eligible to receive both a leading rewards package and private healthcare support at member hospitals when you join the team.
