Are you someone who takes pride in creating a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment? Do you enjoy working as part of a friendly team where your role really makes a difference to people’s daily lives?

We’re looking for a reliable and hardworking Weekend Housekeeper to join our team at The Limes – a warm, family-run care home with a long-standing reputation for exceptional care and a true sense of community.

About Us

The Limes is an award-winning, family-run residential care home located in the heart of Bembridge. We’re passionate about providing not just excellent care, but also a homely, safe, and comfortable environment for our residents. Every member of our team plays an important part in achieving this – and our housekeeping and laundry team is at the very heart of keeping our home running smoothly.

About the Role

As a Housekeeping & Laundry Assistant, you’ll help to maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene across our home. This includes keeping resident bedrooms, bathrooms, and communal areas fresh and welcoming, as well as ensuring personal laundry and household linen are cared for to a high standard. You’ll be supporting infection control practices and contributing to the warm, homely feel that makes The Limes so special.

Key Responsibilities

• Cleaning resident rooms and communal spaces to a high standard
• Washing, drying, ironing, and returning residents’ personal laundry and household linen

• Friendly, reliable, and available to work weekends (with the option of an additional shift during the week)
• Hardworking with an eye for detail
• Comfortable working independently as well as part of a team
• Committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming home environment

Experience in housekeeping, laundry, or cleaning is helpful, but not essential — full training will be provided.

What We Offer

• 12–18 hours per week (weekend shifts, with the option of an extra weekday shift)
• A supportive, family-run working environment
• Competitive rates of pay
• Training and development opportunities
• Wellbeing support

If you’d like to be part of a team that takes pride in making our home warm and welcoming, we’d love to hear from you.
