The Deep Clean Team at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is currently recruiting Domestic Assistants to join a dedicated cleaning team responsible for maintaining high standards of cleanliness across all wards and departments, including COVID-19 and other infection-sensitive areas.

We are seeking reliable, enthusiastic, and flexible individuals with cleaning experience who are eager to develop their skills in a department committed to upholding the National Standards of Cleanliness.

Positions Available:

2. Part-time (25 hours/week): Monday to Friday 08:00-13:00 (including bank holidays).

Both roles offer the opportunity to work as part of a supportive team in a dynamic healthcare environment where cleanliness and infection control are a top priority.

This role involves maintaining a clean, safe, and hygienic environment across hospital wards and departments to support patient care and infection control.

Under the supervision of the Domestic Supervisor, they will provide a rapid response cleaning service and ensure the correct and safe use of cleaning equipment, following all relevant training and safety protocols.

Team members are also trained to use specialist decontamination equipment, such as Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour systems, to manage infection risks effectively.
