Job description for a hospital volunteer position:
"Porter for physio, hair dressers, pastoral. Assist to medical appointments on roll. Help on different units with activity staff. Help with shopping trips 2 times a month. Help with evening activities 6-8pm. Also, ***portering*** for evening programs week-ends."
I suppose "transport" could be used but am wondering if there's a more precise term. TIA

accompagnateur (selon contexte)
La traduction littérale de "porter" dans un contexte hospitalier c'est brancardier, portering : brancarder. Ici, il s'agit peut-être d'aider des personnes handicapées ou immobilisées par une blessure à se déplacer. Voir selon votre texte. S'il s'agit juste de les aider à se déplacer dans un fauteuil roulant, on dira plutôt accompagnateur.
