Overview

Who are we? The Cleaning Department is a large team providing cleaning to all areas of the hospital. Cleaners are generally assigned to a specific location, enabling them to feel part of the local area team and build great relationships. Cleaning is a vital service within the hospital, helping control the spread of infection and providing a welcoming and safe environment for all patients, staff and visitors.

The role requires a current right to work in the UK, which enables you to undertake the role without sponsorship.
