Are you a motivated individual and do your housekeeping skills match our high standards?
We have an exciting opportunity to join our friendly Housekeeping Team.
All our Housekeeping Assistants play a fundamental role in the delivery of outstanding care by ensuring the Hospice is safe and clean, and making our environment feel comfortable for our patients and their loved ones.
You will be responsible for cleaning patient rooms and supporting with our in-house laundry service. You will also conduct routine cleaning of public areas and office space, in addition to regular planned deep cleaning and dealing with emergencies, such as spills.
