ABOUT THE POSITION
Our Patient Transfer Attendants accompany patients who require non-emergency transportation between hospitals, medical clinics, diagnostic facilities, long-term care facilities, retirement residences and their homes.
Our patients may be seniors, individuals with mobility limitations, or people living with physical or cognitive challenges. Some patients may require assistance with wheelchairs, walkers, stretchers or other mobility equipment.
This is much more than simply accompanying someone from one location to another.
Our attendants are often the person who spends the most time directly with the patient during their journey. How we treat people matters.
We are looking for genuine, caring individuals who understand the importance of treating every patient with patience, dignity, respect and compassion.

- Completing required trip documentation
- Working as part of a two-person transportation crew
- Maintaining a professional appearance and representing NCMT positively
