Working as a hospital porter in France

Brancardier is not a regulated job in France and no diploma is required by law. Hospitals train porters on site, but they value the AFGSU (attestation de formation aux gestes et soins d'urgence), manual handling training and prior work as an ASH, aide-soignant or ambulance worker. In public hospitals, porters can be titularised in the fonction publique hospitalière after a period on contract. Search for « brancardier », « agent de brancardage » or « brancardier urgences », and look at ASH roles, which sometimes include portering duties.
