Medirest is built on the foundation of trust, integrity and openness and we care passionately about the role we play in the lives of those within our care. Whether it’s a welcoming smile and greeting from our Porter, a Barista serving a cup of coffee or a Security Officer helping someone to find their way, our purpose is to provide care and empathy in all interactions.

We are currently seeking to appoint a part time Helpdesk Operator at our hospital site located in Waratah, Newcastle. Reporting to the Helpdesk Manager this position requires an organised and professional individual who has the ability to work autonomously, has excellent communication skills and intermediate computer skills. The Helpdesk operates twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week therefore the successful applicant will require availability to work eight hour shifts as follows: morning shift (6am-2.30pm), afternoon shift (2.20pm-10:20pm) and night shift (10.10pm-6.10am) as per the roster.

- Maintenance related requests; for example a patient TV may not be working correctly or the air conditioning may be too warm
- Cleaning service requirements; for example there may be a spill to be cleaned, or a bin collection required

Upon receiving these communications our Operators are then required to efficiently and accurately enter the data in our Quality Management System (QFM) for our service teams to action.
