What is our Hospital Service Assistant - Holiday Reliever role?

In this role, you will be responsible for providing assistance under the direction of clinical staff with transferring, lifting, re-positioning and ambulation of patients while demonstrating an excellent standard of customer service

The HSA department operates a 24/7 service. As a guide of what to expect, shift times are:

• AM shifts vary in start times and shifts commence from 0600 to 1030 hours with the latest shift finish time of 1830 hours.
• PM shifts vary in start times and shifts commence from 1200 to 1730 hours with the latest shift finish time of 0030 hours.

HSA Holiday Relievers are rostered to cover all shifts as required.

This flexibility with holiday relievers is a necessity to ensure we cover leave efficiently.
