Job Description
About the Role
We are seeking an efficient, professional, and empathetic Hospital Porter to join our dedicated Ward 4 East at Macquarie University Hospital.
As part of Australia's premier university-owned private teaching hospital, our Step-Down Cardiology and Angio Day service accommodates patients arriving for same-day cardiac, vascular, and neuro-interventional procedures. In this specialized environment, your proactive support will drive the critical cycle of patient intake, rapid theatre turnaround, and safe post-procedure transfer back to the day ward for discharge-all while delivering the premium, stress-free care our private patients expect.
Key Responsibilities
Admissions & Intake Transport: Greet and escort same-day patients from the main reception or day ward admission bays directly into the specialized angiography prep areas.
Rapid Theatre Turnaround: Coordinate closely with the day nursing team and radiographers to safely transfer patients into the hybrid imaging theatres, helping the department maintain its precise daily procedure schedule.
Post-Procedure Care Logistics: Care for and transfer recovering patients carefully back to the Day Ward or recovery lounges, ensuring maximum patient comfort following sedation.
Day Suite Supply Flows: Move specialized clinical kits, clean linens, and essential sterile consumables into the angiography labs to ensure rooms are fully restocked between cases.
Requirements & Qualifications
Premium Customer Service: Exceptional interpersonal skills with a warm, reassuring manner to alleviate the anxiety of patients undergoing same-day heart or blood vessel interventions.
Physical Fitness & Mobility: High stamina to handle active movement throughout the day, including pushing modern hospital beds, specialized chairs, and heavy equipment.
Time Management: Sharp organization skills to respond dynamically to a fast-moving day surgery schedule without compromising safety or patient care standards.
Compliance: Must possess or be willing to obtain an Australian National Police Check, Working with Children Check (WWCC), and meet NSW Health Category A immunization requirements. Prior experience in a day surgery, radiology unit, or high-end hospitality environment is highly regarded.
Application Closes: Monday 12th of October 2026 at 11:00PM (AEDT)
