New Job starting Tuesday
I went for an interview some time back at the local hospital, there were a number of jobs going, one being a porter job, sorry I wouldn’t know what you would call it in any other country, maybe the same job title. The job involves takes patients to x-ray or to anywhere they need to be.
I gained the job but had to wait for police clearance, background check seeing I will be working with people young and old. Finally, my clearance came through and I start work on Tuesday. I have two training day this week and another one in just over a week’s time.
I’m looking forward to it and it’s not too far from home. I’m going to be even busier than I normally am.

@kevin1877uk The time available for knitting will be restricted, but hopefully not enough to stop you managing both.

@kevin1877uk ~Congratulations on your new job. The people that you will be dealing with are usually going through a bad period or difficult time in their lives. It takes a special person to do a job like that. I remember once, while at a hospital, an older man had that job. He had a "way about him" where he was able to make the patients feel more at ease.

@kevin1877uk ~Just to be on the safe side, if you don't already, you might want to consider taking a multiple vitamin supplement.

I am absolutely thrilled for you my friend.
That is a nice job as I recall the porters when my Mother was in the hospital.
They were ever so nice.

@kevin1877uk Yes they called them transporters in the hospital my Mom was in, but I do recall the term porters in England and I knew what you meant right away.

Nice, well I know when I was in ER, the nurse took me back and forth to Xray. They didn't have a special person, to run me.
I wouldn't mind having a job like that, I hope you enjoy the job very much.

Congratulations
I worked in a hospital for years doing a variety of jobs from cleaning to healthcare assistant and then security in A&E and maternity.
I loved it
Currently I doubt I'd pass the DBS checks

@kevin1877uk I got employed by a hospital with a criminal record.
Now I've added to it years later I don't think I'd make it.
The DBS people have told me about filtering so arrests without charge may not show up...I'm not bothering for a couple more years

Different hospitals call it different things. I have seen them called valets, concierge, transporter as well as you calling it porter. I have often thought that would be an interesting job.
