Patient Transfer Attendant: Full-Time | In Person
Join a Team That Makes a Difference. We're looking for a caring, dependable, and patient-focused Patient Transfer Attendant to join our growing team.
At Alliance, we believe every patient deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. Every day, we provide non-emergency patient transfer services to hospitals, healthcare facilities, long-term care homes, and private residences throughout our community. We also provide professional First Aid services for local events, helping keep our communities safe.
This opportunity is ideal for individuals with experience as a Personal Support Worker (PSW), Paramedic, Healthcare Aide, Nursing Student, Caregiver, or someone with experience in customer service, hospitality, community support, or another people-focused profession. If you enjoy helping others, thrive in a team environment, and want to make a meaningful difference every day, we'd love to hear from you.
Whether you're bringing experience from healthcare, customer service, hospitality, community support, or another people-focused profession, you'll receive comprehensive orientation and on-the-job training to help you build the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to succeed as a Patient Transfer Attendant. At Alliance, we're committed to supporting your growth from day one, ensuring you have the tools and mentorship needed to provide safe, compassionate, and professional patient care.
About the Role
As a Patient Transfer Attendant, you'll play an important role in helping patients safely travel between hospitals, healthcare facilities, medical appointments, long-term care homes, and private residences.
More than simply providing transportation, you'll offer reassurance, kindness, and compassionate care to patients who may be recovering from illness, living with mobility challenges, or simply needing a helping hand.
Working closely with hospitals, hospices, long-term care homes, clinics, healthcare professionals, patients, and families, you'll help ensure every transfer is completed safely, comfortably, and respectfully.
No two days are the same. One day you may be assisting a patient home from hospital, while the next you're transporting someone to an important medical appointment or supporting a community event with First Aid services. Every interaction is an opportunity to make a positive impact.
