• Using tools, equipment and materials safely and appropriately

• Working in accordance with relevant health and safety procedures

• Helping to ensure the hospital continues to provide a safe, well-maintained and welcoming environment

We are looking for someone who is practical, reliable and takes pride in delivering work to a high standard.
