Looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference to student life? Join the University of Liverpool as a Domestic Assistant and help create a clean, safe and welcoming environment within our student residences.

You’ll be responsible for cleaning and preparing student bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and communal areas, ensuring high standards of housekeeping and customer service are maintained at all times.

During the summer months, working across all residential buildings to support the annual accommodation turnaround will be required, including clearing & cleaning rooms & kitchens, deep cleaning and preparing rooms for new residents, as well as assisting with conference set up cleaning, bed making and turnaround often to a strict schedule.

• Reliable, punctual and hardworking
• Able to work independently and as part of a team
• Detail-focused with a commitment to high standards
• Friendly and professional when interacting with students and visitors
