Job description

Are you someone who finds satisfaction in a job well done — and wants to do work that matters? At CrossReach, our Housekeeping Assistants don’t just keep things tidy — they help create calm, comfortable homes for the people we support.

We’re looking for reliable, friendly people who want to be part of something meaningful. Every freshly made bed, every clean corridor — it all adds up to a place where people feel cared for.

What you’ll be doing:

• Vacuuming, dusting, and keeping spaces clean and pleasant
• Managing laundry and linen with a little extra care
• Supporting residents to enjoy tidy, comfortable surroundings
• Being a valued part of a caring, supportive team

If you take pride in your work and enjoy being around others, you’ll fit right in — and if you’ve never worked in care before, don’t worry. We’ll give you a warm welcome and full support.

This is a flexible relief role, perfect if you’re looking for hours that work around your other commitments.

So, if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and help create spaces that feel like home, we’d love to hear from you.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.

Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
