Job description

Position: Medical Delivery Driver

Location: Field based – Manchester hospitals

Job Type: Full Time, Permanent

Wage: £25,000 plus £1,000 shift allowance as well as on call.

Working as part of the northern Rental team, you will be delivering and collecting rental equipment to hospital sites in the North West, with the majority of work being around Tameside and the Manchester area. Some days may start and finish at the local depot, while other days may start by going straight to the hospital sites.

You will be responsible for delivering equipment directly to the wards, and collecting any equipment that is no longer required. The majority of the equipment you will be working with are pressure‑relieving mattresses, which are inflated on hospital beds and then deflated by the wards, rolled up and bagged ready for collection. Supplied with an iPad and iPhone, you will be required to log all serial numbers of equipment as it goes in and out of the hospital, so a keen eye for detail is needed.

A valid driver’s licence is essential, as you will load your van at the local depot, and work from your van for the rest of the day, attending to any orders that come through to you. As all installation requests need to be delivered within 4 hours, it is essential that you have a methodical and practical approach, to make sure that patients are not waiting long periods for essential equipment. You will be able to use the van to get to and from work, so you must have somewhere suitable to park the van when at home.

The role does involve lifting, so you must be able to lift bulky mattresses for long periods, although equipment is provided to support moving the rental products around the hospitals. No experience is needed, as full training will be given. Personality, enthusiasm, positivity and communication skills are essential in the role to help Arjo build strong relationships with our customers. Working in Manchester, you will be the face of Arjo for our customers and patients. We are building a weekend team in Manchester and looking for people who want to make a difference. This is currently one of two roles available in Manchester.

The skills you will need

• A practical approach.
• Ability to prioritise work and amend route plans accordingly.
• A positive and team‑oriented approach.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Driving Licence: Required to hold a valid UK driver’s licence.
• Enhanced DBS clearance: Required (at the cost of Arjo).
• Must be able to lift bulky mattresses for prolonged periods.
• Due to the nature of this role, there may be a requirement to undertake work outside of normal hours i.e. evenings, weekends and bank holidays and participate in the “On Call” rota.
• You will be required to drive a large van and hold a clean driving licence (held for a minimum of one year) and be able to route plan effectively.

What we will offer in return

You will support our vision to be the most trusted partner in driving healthier outcomes for people facing mobility challenges. In return, we recognise and value our global employees. You will have our full support, training and opportunities for professional development, along with a competitive package. We will provide a uniform and access to a company van.
