Description

Newcastle Hospitals has a small and friendly specialist team to provide moving and handling training and advice across the Trust.

The Moving and Handling Co-ordinators play key roles in the team as advisors in a range of clinical and non-clinical situations that are often complex and we have found that people who enjoy moving and handling thoroughly enjoy the varied workload so we very rarely have an opportunity available to join us.

If you have the required experience and think you would enjoy the opportunity to develop further in this area why not give us a call to find out a bit more?
Interview Date: 29 March 202- 37 hours 30 minutes/week
