Step into a practical, patient-focused role as a Theatre Porter at Royal Papworth Hospital on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CB2). This permanent, full-time Band 2 post (£24,465) suits people with a caring nature who want to work alongside theatre teams without clinical qualifications. You will escort patients between wards, departments and theatres, clean operating rooms and equipment, and move theatre and sterile services kit — tasks that require good manual-handling skills, confidentiality, a professional manner and the ability to work under pressure. No prior NHS experience is necessary; on-the-job training is provided and the post requires Level 1 literacy and numeracy (NVQ2 desirable). You should be comfortable working in an environment where there may be exposure to blood and other body fluids and able to follow clear instructions as part of a busy theatre team.
