Job description

A Vacancy at Northumbria Healthcare - NHFM (Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management).

Are you looking for a role which allows you to balance your work and home commitments within an organisation that supports its staff? If so, come and join our fantastic domestic team at Hexham General Hospital as a Domestic Assistant.

At Northumbria Facilities Management, we realise that many people have competing priorities outside of their working life, and Your Shifts, Your Way offers you the opportunity to tell us what works for you.

Whatever your availability, whether it is for certain shifts on set days, we can offer you shifts worked in your way. If you're unable to commit to traditional shift times and patterns, we can accommodate flexible hours such as later start times and/or earlier finish times or fixed days off.

The department operates between 06:00 - 20:00, and we can be flexible within these hours to accommodate you. We currently have roles from 16 to 30 hours per week.

We are also looking to recruit candidates onto our Staff Bank to fill roles on an “as and when required” basis. If you are interested in this, please state this on your application form and at interview.

Please note we reserve the right to close this vacancy prior to the closing date once the required number of suitable applications have been received.

Quite simply, the NHS could not function without our Domestics! Every single service in the Trust relies on domestics to keep the place clean and safe for patients, visitors, and staff. You’ll be part of a team striving to maintain the highest cleanliness standards in wards, departments, corridors, and offices, and in doing so making a real difference to the NHS.

NHFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Established in 2012, NHFM provides specialist project management services for large and small capital developments, estates maintenance, and a full range of facilities services. Carrying out facilities management for a state-of-the-art specialist emergency care hospital - The Northumbria, three general hospitals - North Tyneside, Wansbeck, and Hexham hospitals - and a number of smaller community hospitals and clinic sites, we cover one of the largest geographical areas of any NHS trust in the country.

Work for us and you will be making a real difference to the NHS and the thousands of people who use our services each year. Visit our website www.nhfm.co.uk for more information about who we are and benefits of working for us.

1. Cleaning of floor areas as scheduled by means of vacuuming, mopping, buffing, and spray cleaning.
