Job description

About The Role

Please note, that this position is a zero hour bank contract.

In your role as a Housekeeping Assistant at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Every single person who works 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 people.

As a Housekeeping Assistant, your responsibilities will include maintaining a clean, hygienic, safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Your attention to detail will be evident in the environment you help create. Whether managing the cleaning rota or actively participating in cleaning tasks, you will do so with kindness and professionalism.

HC-One is 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, ability to get along with others, and strong communication skills—both listening and instructing—are essential. When communicating with residents or colleagues, kindness and consideration are paramount.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know the appropriate actions to take. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should be able to seek advice and report concerns, escalating issues if necessary.

We offer full training and a variety of benefits to support your physical and psychological well-being. Throughout your career as a Housekeeping Assistant, we will invest in your development and provide additional support, including:

• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Free uniform
• Hourly rate commensurate with experience and qualifications
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays
• Group life assurance cover
• Wagestream - flexible access to your earnings and financial wellbeing support
• Learning and development opportunities with support to achieve qualifications
• GP online - 24/7 virtual GP consultations for you and your children under 16
• Opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues within a dedicated team
• Colleague discounts on high street and online retailers
• Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential support for physical, mental, and financial issues
• Recognition schemes such as ‘Kindness in Care’ and Long Service Awards
• Refer a friend scheme with rewards up to £1000 per successful referral

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

Our goal is to ensure a smooth onboarding process, from the job offer to your first day and beyond, providing you with a positive working experience at HC-One.
