Summary
A Vacancy at Northumbria Healthcare - NHFM (Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management).
We are looking to recruit Domestic Assistants on a permanent basis at our Northumbria Health and Care Academy.
We are also looking to recruit candidates onto our Staff Bank to fill roles on an “as and when required” basis. If you are interested in this please state this on your application form and at interview.
The Trust, its patients, staff and buildings are absolutely central to everything we do in NHFM and we are 100% aligned to the Trust’s Vision, Mission and Values.
Our domestic teams are busy and work hard, but you’ll be given full training and the support you will need.
Being a Domestic Assistant will give you experience of working in a care environment. You’ll work closely with a wide range of staff and get to know them and see what they do. You’ll also get experience of talking to patients and visitors and will get to see the difference you make to them.
We’d love for you to stay within Domestic Services and NHFM, but if you do want to get into a healthcare assistant or nursing role in the future, this is the perfect opportunity to get a foot in the door.
Quite simply, the NHS could not function without our Domestics! Every single service in the Trust relies on domestics to keep the place clean and safe for patients, visitors and staff. You’ll be part of a team striving to maintain the highest cleanliness standards in wards, departments, corridors and offices, and in doing so making a real difference to the NHS.
NHFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Established in 2012, NHFM provide specialist project management services for large and small capital developments, estates maintenance and a full range of facilities services. Carrying out facilities management for astate-of-the-art specialist emergency care hospital - The Northumbria, three general hospitals - North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham hospitals - and a number of smaller community hospitals and clinic sites, we cover one of the largest geographical areas of any NHS trust in the country.
Come and work for us and we can offer you:
• Competitive rates of pay
• Enhanced rates of pay for working evenings, nights, weekends and bank holidays
• Favourable employment terms and conditions – we mirror NHS Agenda for Change terms and conditions (https://www.nhsemployers.org/tchandbook) which includes up to 33 days annual leave + bank holidays per year, generous maternity and paternity leave provisions, occupational sick pay, and much more
• NHS Pension Scheme
• Career development opportunities
• Fantastic staff benefits including car lease, home electronics, cycle to work and childcare schemes, priority access to vaccinations, physiotherapy, counselling, stopping smoking services, among many more
• A great employee experience - we score very highly on our employee satisfaction metrics

Removal of rubbish including domestic and clinical waste from designated areas to disposal point.
Damp dusting of all surfaces, ledges, shelves, curtain rails.
Cleaning of internal glass.
Maintain high standards of cleanliness in all work areas.
