Our Housekeepers are really important in ensuring our home is safe, tidy and clean - as well as welcoming and comfortable for our fantastic residents.  Your main tasks will involve cleaning bedrooms, lounges, dining areas, utility rooms, corridors, and bathrooms/toilets to a high standard, all following our home's cleaning schedules and procedures. You will also be responsible for restocking toiletries, soaps and towels.  

Ideally you'll have worked in a care home or similar environment before, but what's most important is that you are self-motivated, conscientious and able to work on your own initiative. 

Our great benefits include:

• Competitive pay rates and enhanced overtime (+£2 p/h extra!) and bank holiday pay
• Recognition of service payments, receiving a total of £500 in your first year
• UNLIMITED £1,000 ‘Refer a Friend’ payments (that’s potentially £1,000 every time you link us up with another great new person to join the team!)
• Training and qualifications funded by us
• Annual pay reviews recognising your contribution to making our homes a great place to live and work
• Private health care options helping reduce the cost of essential bills, such as dental and optical treatment 
• An organisation with an impressive internal promotion record and creating great opportunities for people
• A supportive team who values you, your individuality, and your aspirations
