Job description

About The Role

Please note that this is a part-time role working 23 hours per week, with full flexibility required.

As a Housekeeping Assistant at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It influences every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Everyone here understands that our residents are people just like them, with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those individuals.

Your role as a Housekeeping Assistant will involve maintaining the cleanest, most hygienic home environment—safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Your attention to detail will be evident in the environment you uphold. Whether managing the cleaning rota or actively participating in cleaning tasks, you’ll perform your duties with kindness and care.

We are looking for a Housekeeping Assistant with experience, although we will provide comprehensive training. You should have excellent time management and organizational skills. Beyond that, your positive energy, natural ability to get along with people, and strong communication skills—both listening and instructing—are essential. You will communicate with residents and colleagues considerately and kindly.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It’s important that you can 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 role and to undertake additional training as needed. You should be able to seek advice and report concerns, escalating issues if necessary.

We will provide full training, offering a great opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you will enjoy a wide range of benefits supporting your physical and psychological well-being, including:

• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Free uniform
• Hourly rate dependent on experience and qualifications
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays
• Group life assurance cover
• Wagestream for financial wellbeing and flexible pay access
• Award-winning learning and development programs with qualification opportunities
• GP online service providing 24/7 GP consultations via app, available for you and your children under 16
• Opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues within a dedicated team
• Colleague discounts at over 1600 high street stores
• Free access to an Employee Assistance Programme offering 24/7 support for physical, mental, and financial issues
• Recognition schemes such as ‘Kindness in Care’ and Long Service Awards
• Refer a Friend scheme offering up to £1000 per successful referral

We are committed to fostering an inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and prioritize inclusive working practices.

Our goal is to ensure you have an excellent experience working with us, starting from the quick turnaround from job offer to your first day.
