hospital job

Valmont

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place. But I figured that this forum would yield the best results!

I heard that hospitals hire part time people (on a relatively good hourly rate) to push around beds and other general menial tasks that cleaning staff,nurses,doctors don't do. If so, does anyone know how one might apply for such a position? Thanks

If you are called for interview don't refer to the tasks as "menial". A porter's role is vital in many general hospitals. Just because a position does not require any third level qualifications that does not make it menial.

I didn't mean that it wasn't important, just in relation to what the doctors and nurses do for example. Thats why I was interested in the job, because I'd like a part-time job with a purpose.
