NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
The shift pattern for this position is Monday to Friday, 8:00-16:00.
The Acute Medical Team at RAH are a dedicated team who provide skilled and professional support in directing patient flow across the hospital. Bed Buster Nursing Auxiliaries support patient flow as directed by the nurse in charge to ensure clean timely bed availability, admission, discharge, and transfer of patients across the hospital. This is an exciting role for an individual to be part of the AMU team to help facilitate patient flow.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic member of the Bed Buster team at Royal Alexander Hospital. You will contribute to the safe and timely transfer of patients across the hospital site with a focus on delivering patient-centered and quality care. The aim of the team is to respond and transfer patients within the hospital and facilitate patient discharges from the hospital. As a member of this team, you will support ward colleagues by preparing bed spaces for admission and following discharge, collecting and transferring patients from the ward to the Discharge Lounge for discharge, and supporting transfers to other wards or areas within the hospital as required. The successful candidate will maintain high standards of quality and patient-centered care and communicate effectively with the Nurse in charge.

Due to the anticipated response to this post, it may close before the closing date noted on the advert; therefore, once you start your application form, please complete it immediately.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part-time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37-hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
Candidates should provide original and authentic responses to all questions within the application form. The use of artificial intelligence (AI), automated tools, or other third-party assistance to generate, draft, or significantly modify responses is strongly discouraged. By submitting your application, you confirm that all answers are your own work, reflect your personal knowledge, skills, and experience, and have not been solely produced or altered by AI or similar technologies.
Failure to comply with this requirement may result in your application being withdrawn from the application process.
