Patcham Nursing Home

Hours: 16 hours per week – Saturday and Sunday, 8:00am–4:00pm

About the Role

At SDR, we believe that a clean, safe and comfortable environment is an important part of quality care. As a Domestic Assistant at Patcham Nursing Home, you will play a valuable role in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the home, helping our residents feel comfortable, respected and at home.

Working as part of a supportive team, you will carry out regular cleaning and deep cleaning duties across the home, paying attention to detail and taking pride in your work.

Previous domestic or cleaning experience is essential. We welcome applications from people who are reliable, hardworking and keen to make a positive difference.

What Will You Be Doing?

Carrying out daily cleaning duties to maintain a clean, tidy and hygienic environment.

Helping maintain a comfortable and welcoming environment for residents, visitors and colleagues.

Respecting residents' privacy, dignity and personal belongings at all times.

Reporting any maintenance issues, damage or health and safety concerns to the appropriate person.

Working collaboratively with colleagues to maintain the high standards expected at Patcham Nursing Home.
