Do you take pride in your cleaning standards and attention to detail? As a Domestic Assistant, you’ll ensure that our home is clean and welcoming for the people who live and work here.

As part of our Domestic Team, you’ll carry out all daily and weekly cleaning routines, including dusting, mopping, polishing, and vacuuming.

You’ll clean all areas in the home including people’s bedrooms, lounges, kitchens, bathrooms, and offices.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a brand new team, in a state-of-the-art, purpose-built home. You’ll have the chance to really make your mark.

About Exemplar Health Care

Wytham Lodge is part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country’s leading nursing care providers, supporting adults living with acquired brain injuries, complex mental health needs, dementia, and physical disabilities.

We offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

About the role

You’ll put our people at the heart of everything you do – whether that’s hoovering our residents’ bedrooms or polishing their photo frames. We can guarantee that whatever you bring to the role, you’ll see great rewards.

If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.

We value relevant experience but it isn’t essential for this role. Above all, you’re someone who identifies with our values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success, and teamwork.
