Are you looking for a new challenge in 2026? If so, come and join us at the Royal United Hospitals Bath and join our team of cleaners where a fantastic journey and exciting opportunities await you.

We are looking for people who have a flexible approach, good communication skills and attention to detail and the ability to use their own initiative.

We have a variety of hours that we are looking to fill. Our main shift patterns are weekday afternoon shifts between 11:30am - 10pm and weekend shifts 7:30am-7:30pm inclusive of full time and part‑time roles.

We have a number of vacancies for cleaners with a wide variety of shift patterns available. Available shift lengths are between 3 hours and 7.5 hours throughout the day both in the week, and at weekends.

You will be joining our valued Cleaning team who provide cleaning to all areas of the hospital. Cleaning is a vital service within the hospital, helping to control the spread of infection, and providing a welcoming and safe environment for all our patients, staff and visitors.

If you're looking for a role that makes a difference to others and you would like to be part of a friendly, welcoming team – apply today!

This role requires you to have a current right to work in the UK, which enables you to undertake the role without need of sponsorship. Under current UK immigration rules this role is not eligible for sponsorship and it is not possible for the Trust to sponsor applicants for a visa for this role.

Accordingly, we regret that any application will not be considered if this requirement is not met.

You will be responsible for achieving high standards of cleanliness in clinical or non‑clinical areas across the RUH and for ensuring that a clean, safe and comfortable environment is maintained for patients and visitors.

Our Cleaners are generally assigned to a specific location, enabling them to feel part of the local area team and build strong relationships.

Training will be provided.

At the RUH we're proud to put people at the heart of what we do, working together as one team to make a difference for our patients, each other, and our community. No matter what your role is, we value everyone's contribution in supporting the exceptional, person‑centred care we pride ourselves on.

We are committed to creating a compassionate and inclusive environment. This is reflected in our growing community of staff networks – celebrating successes and creating opportunities to listen and learn. We value our differences, champion kindness and civility, and truly believe that diversity makes us stronger.

A culture of learning, development and innovation is the thread that runs throughout our whole organisation. We want to support you to thrive, taking your career to its full potential.

We value staff wellbeing, with a well‑established programme of support. We believe in a holistic approach spanning all aspects of living a healthy life – including physical, emotional, spiritual and financial wellbeing. We've even got a pool!

We are committed to supporting you and hope you want to join our team.
