Job Description
Are you someone who loves things neat, calm and cared-for? Do you take pride in making spaces feel welcoming and comfortable? We’re looking for Housekeeping Assistants to join our team, helping to create the kind of place that feels like home from the moment you walk through the door.
Yes, you’ll be doing the usual cleaning tasks like bedrooms, bathrooms and shared areas, but it’s so much more than that. You’ll be part of creating dignity, peace of mind and comfort for the people who live here. And that’s something really special.
What your days might look like:
Bringing a bit of shine and sparkle to rooms that need it
Helping residents feel proud of their space and happy in their surroundings
Keeping things calm and homely with your care and attention
Working alongside a friendly team who’ve always got your back
What we’re looking for:
Someone who enjoys keeping things clean, tidy and welcoming
A kind, thoughtful approach and a good sense of teamwork
An eye for detail and a willingness to learn
Reliable and ready to get stuck in
No previous experience in care needed. Just the right attitude.
You don’t need to have worked in a care home before. If you’re reliable, kind and like to keep things looking their best, we’ll show you the rest.
Why join us?
Because the little things matter. A fresh room. A clean space. A warm hello. They all add up to someone feeling safe, settled and seen. And you’ll be a big part of that.
So if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, do something that truly matters and be part of a brilliant team, click ‘Apply’. We’d love to hear from you!
