Main duties of the job

We are looking for friendly, reliable and hard-working candidates who will be flexible and organised with good interpersonal and communication skills.

This role will include supervising a small team of housekeepers and supporting the provision of good-quality, safe catering and cleanliness.

All general housekeeping duties will be required within a mental health inpatient environment to set procedures and to ensure the cleanliness of a hospital environment is maintained to a high standard in accordance with CoSHH, Health and Safety and Infection Control measures in place. This will additionally include the support and serving of patient mealtimes; therefore, direct patient contact will be required.

You will be a team player and have the ability to use your initiative to prioritise and organise daily duties whilst maintaining the Trust Values.

The unit is operational 7 days a week; therefore, flexibility around weekend and bank holiday cover will be required to ensure that we have sufficient housekeeping services at all times.  

Full-time and part-time positions are considered, with shifts covering throughout the day.

If you have experience of being able to deliver cleaning to a high standard and enjoy working as part of a team, then this could be the role for you. We are committed to supporting you to become the best version of yourself.
