Job description

We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed Housekeeper to join our team on the Emergency Department at North Manchester General Hospital.

As these roles are not eligible for sponsorship, therefore if you require sponsorship to work in the UK your application will not be processed.

This is an exciting and key role in which you will work closely with the nursing and domestic staff to ensure a safe, clean and organised clinical department. You will take responsibility for ensuring that all medical equipment is clean and well maintained and liaise with the domestic supervisors and staff to ensure cleaning is of a high standard.

You will play an essential role at meal times, serving breakfast and lunches, in addition to ordering food for patients and supporting in cleaning after meals. You will take responsibility for ensuring the ward has adequate equipment and stock. You will undertake reporting any estates work and request for portering services.

In addition, you will be responsible for assisting the team in continuous quality improvement work by undertaking audits on the ward. The role also entails keeping ward information boards up to date.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust in England with a turnover of over £3bn and is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 30,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
