As a Head Housekeeper, you'll play a key role in making sure everything runs smoothly day to day. Alongside hands‑on cleaning, you'll help guide the housekeeping team, keep supplies organised, and make sure high standards are maintained throughout the home.
This isn't just about cleaning - it's about creating a space where residents feel comfortable, respected and truly at home.
If you take pride in your work, enjoy supporting others, and are ready to take a bit more ownership, we'd love to hear from you.

* Support from managers who trust you to take responsibility
* Training to help you build skills and grow
* Take paid breaks and get a free uniform throughout your time here
* Set hours with no late nights

* Leading by example with high standards of cleaning across rooms and shared spaces
* Supporting and guiding other housekeepers in their day‑to‑day work
* Supporting with deep cleaning
* Help cover holidays or busy periods
* Encouraging strong teamwork between care and housekeeping staff
* Managing stock levels and ordering cleaning products
* Keeping cupboards organised and equipment well maintained
* Acting as a key point of contact for the housekeeping team
What We'd Love You to Bring
* Able to plan your day and take ownership of tasks
* Comfortable guiding or supporting colleagues
* Confident using cleaning products safely (COSHH awareness)
* Good attention to detail and high standards of cleanliness
* Kind and respectful around residents and their space
* Previous cleaning experience essential; team‑leading experience a bonus
* Housekeeping NVQ would be helpful, but not essential
What Makes Island Healthcare Different
We're a family‑run company, and we treat our staff and residents with the same care we'd want for our own families. For over 20 years, we've been part of life on the Island. We've built trust by doing the right things, the right way. That's why many of our team stay for years. They feel respected and proud of the work they do. Our homes feel like just that – homes. They're welcoming, well‑run, and full of people who care.
So, if you want to do meaningful work, take a bit more responsibility, and be part of a team that truly supports each other – we'd love to hear from you.
