You will be joining Rushcliffe Care, a company with over 35 years of experience in offering the highest levels of care to our most vulnerable in society.
Across our services, we support people to live safer, more fulfilling lives, with dignity, choice, and consistency at the centre of everything we do.
Our work is guided by clear values. These are not slogans. They shape how we treat people, how we work together, and what we expect from each other.
About the Role
As a Domestic Assistant, your role is focused on maintaining cleanliness and hygiene across the service, helping to ensure the environment is safe, comfortable, and appropriate for people receiving care, as well as staff and visitors.

Shifts are worked across seven days. Evening shifts are 17:00–20:00. Rotas are issued fairly and in advance.
