Working as One Team

Build positive relationships with residents, colleagues and visitors while contributing to a caring and supportive culture.

Promoting Safety

Support the home's Health & Safety, COSHH and infection prevention procedures to maintain a safe environment for everyone.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience within housekeeping, domestic services, hospitality or cleaning.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• A positive and friendly attitude.
