We are looking for a Domestic Assistant to join our team, working 14 hours per week, starting at 8.30 am - 4pm on either a Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday. It is unlikely you would need to work weekends!

Working as part of a wider team, you will work together to follow the cleaning schedules to ensure we meet our SLA's to create a clean and tidy environment for our residents to live.

• Wipe down, dust and hoover stairs and corridors

We will supply all the products and equipment you need and also provide full health and safety/COSHH training to ensure you are working in a safe manner.

It goes without saying, you will take a huge amount of pride in your work and have the highest standards in your work.

You are likely to have worked in a domestic or commercial cleaning role before and be confident and comfortable working in an highly diverse and varied role where genuinely no day is ever the same!

We hope you will see this role as a way of supporting our residents and have the patience and understanding to support their journey to independent living beyond their time with us. You will get to know our residents as you visit their home and we hope you would foster a positive, and trusted relationship. We would also want you to know you could report anything that gave you concern about their well-being or safety knowing that we would be able to intervene and support them should they need it.

This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check (paid for by YMCA) and registration with the DBS Update Service. We reserve the right to withdraw this role before the closing date should we be able to appoint to the role.
