Job description

Come and join one of the UK’s largest independent providers in neuro and mental healthcare. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

We'd like you to join us as a Housekeeper at our service Moorpark Place in Kilbirnie.

Moorpark Place is a specialist supported living service for adults who are on the Autistic Spectrum. Located in a peaceful and stunning setting in Kilbirnie, North Ayrshire, we specialise in providing supportive, therapeutic care.

The layout at Moorpark Place is unique and different to many other specialist adult autism services in the UK. Our community consists of 25 individual houses set in their own grounds with some shared facilities. With this arrangement our residents can enjoy all aspects of individual living whilst being part of a smaller community. We support people who would struggle to live independently because they need help with everyday tasks and managing their own home. Our aim is to support our residents to have an enjoyable and engaging life, both on and off site.

Moorpark Place is calm and tranquil and has a huge grassed area outside, where residents often walk and many have reported they feel calmer afterwards. The walled garden is kept as a quiet, sensory area.

We are looking for a Housekeeper to work flexibly as part of the site domestic team ensuring a high standard of upkeep is achieved and maintained. You will be expected to cover shifts and absences as required.

What you'll be doing:

• Cleaning of Unit, including patient areas and communal areas as designated
• General cleaning of premises including floors, sinks, toilets, wash hand basins, baths, work showers, surfaces, cupboards etc. using designated equipment and re-stocking materials as required
• Carry out periodic cleaning, such as corridor walls, windows and carpets using the appropriate machines/tools
• Emptying of rubbish bins, ensuring replacement bags are the correct colour, in line with company waste policy
• Correct usage, storage and care of cleaning equipment, adhering to COSHH procedures.

What you'll have:

• A genuine interest in working within a caring environment
• Previous experience as a Housekeeper from either a Healthcare or Domestic cleaning background
• Experience working unsupervised and on your own initiative
• Successful candidates will be required to undergo an Enhanced PVG

We also want to ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable facilities to participate in job applications or interviews to perform essential job functions. To support this, we are a Disability Confident committed employer.

• 25 days plus bank holidays
• Birthday off
• Join the Active Learning Hub and benefit from a wide range of e-learning and face-to-face training and development opportunities
• Active Reward App giving discounts and savings on your weekly shop
