Working as part of the northern team, you will be delivering and collecting rental equipment to all hospital sites for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and the NHS Lothian sites in Edinburgh, as well as supporting the team covering the surrounding areas. Some days may start and finish at the local depot in Glasgow, where other days may start by going straight to the hospital sites.

You will be responsible for delivering equipment direct 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 license 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 Scotland, you will be the face of Arjo for our customers and patients.
