As a Patient Porter at Tyks Akuutti, you are an important part of a smooth care chain. You transport patients safely to the right place at the right time and ensure that daily hospital operations run smoothly - every transfer is meaningful. Your Tasks You will work in Patient Transport Services, and your initial placement will be at Tyks Akuutti in Turku. Internal patient transports are carried out at the Tyks main hospital, Mäntymäki hospital, and Kaskenlinna hospital, where you transport patients between different units, examinations, and procedures.

What We Offer You We offer you a rotating shift schedule and the opportunity to work in a large community where work is based on cooperation and mutual support. Additionally, you will receive employer-provided training to help you develop your skills in your work. What We Expect From You You are a proactive doer who handles various patient encounters naturally and values precise work. You will succeed in your work if you have good interaction skills and the ability to function as part of a larger whole. We value fluency in Swedish, previous work experience in customer service roles, and experience working in a hospital environment.
