Job Description:

The Department of Pathology has one vacancy for a part-time early morning Domestic Assistant staff, which will be working predominantly in the Department's canteen.

18.5 hours per week: Early morning start.

The post is managed through the Department's Facilities Office, with day-to-day supervision co-ordinated by the Domestic Services Supervisor and Facilities Administrator. The Department of Pathology is split across two sites, Tennis Court Road in central Cambridge and Biomedical Campus at Addenbrooke's Hospital. The post will mainly be based at the Department's central site but will be required, on occasions, to provide cover at its site in Addenbrooke's Hospital.

Experience of cleaning and an NVQ 1 or 2 in Cleaning Methods and food hygiene level 2 would be helpful, although full training will be given. The ability to follow both written and verbal instructions and understand user and safety instructions (regarding the use of chemicals) is required. Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively as a member of a team and deal with a wide range of people with tact, diplomacy and respect are essential, along with reliability, professionalism and a high level of attention to detail. Due to the nature of the work, candidates are expected to have a good level of physical fitness.
