About The Role

As a Housekeeping Assistant, your responsibilities include maintaining a clean, hygienic, safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know the appropriate actions to take if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their roles and undertake additional training as needed. You should be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.

We will provide full training, offering a great opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you will have access to a variety of benefits to support your well-being and career development, including:

• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
