So… What is this role exactly?

This is an exciting opportunity for a Housekeeper at Tiernan Lodge/dispersed properties within the Wigan area, who is passionate about supporting vulnerable people, to join our highly engaged team and provide a professional and reliable cleaning service.

Tiernan Lodge is a homeless person’s scheme, offering customers the opportunity to make progress in their lives, to build resilience and meet their aspirations.

As our Housekeeper, you will carry out a range of high-standard cleaning duties in all indoor (offices and communal areas) and outdoor areas of the building, providing a clean and hygienic environment for residents, staff, and visitors.

You will ensure our flats provide residents with the highest standards of accommodation. Responsibilities include deep cleaning of vacant flats, washing bedding, preparing flats for new occupants, and working off-site in our dispersed tenancies to ensure readiness for re-let. You will also be responsible for transporting cleaning equipment and replenishment items such as bedding, plates, kettles, etc.

You will mainly be based at Tiernan Lodge but may also work off-site. You must have ‘business use’ on your vehicle insurance to reclaim mileage for travel to these properties. Access to a vehicle is beneficial.

We are a multidisciplinary team committed to making a difference in people's lives. The Housekeeping role is vital in creating a welcoming, clean, and homely environment for new customers.

As our Housekeeper, you will…

• be committed to customer care principles;
• have an awareness of health and safety;
• be able to work independently with minimal supervision.

…if that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

What will my working week look like?

The hours are 16 hours per week, excluding weekends and bank holidays.

You will be the first impression of our scheme to customers, staff, visitors, and professionals.

Other responsibilities include:

• Reliability;
• Ability to manage your workload;
• Strong work ethic & attention to detail;
• Knowledge of cleaning products & relevant procedures (such as COSHH & PPE).

One of the great aspects of this role is being part of a fantastic team!

What’s in it for me?

We offer £12.60 per hour for a 16-hour week, up to 25 days of annual leave (pro-rata if part-time), plus Bank Holidays. Our benefits include a contributory pension (we match contributions up to 8%), an advanced healthcare cash plan, health and wellbeing benefits, and discounts on cinema tickets and high street brands.
