Facilities Operative - Ysbyty TRI Chwm

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board has an exciting opportunity to join our Facilities team as a Facilities Operative (Domestic) working at Ysbyty Tri Chwm in Ebbw Vale.

We are looking for a highly motivated and energetic individual who is committed to enhancing the patient & customer experience, therefore you must have a passion for providing a high level of customer service.

The working hours will be 15:00-19:30, five shifts per week, including some weekends.

Previous experience is desirable but not essential as full training will be given.

Main duties of the job

The duties within each function will be set out in the relevant job schedules. The assignment of these duties will meet the priority needs and demands of the service as identified by the manager/supervisor. The post-holder will therefore be expected to take a flexible approach to their duties, and must also be able to cover rosters.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
