An exciting opportunity has arisen for you to join the DCHS Hotel Services/IFM Team in the role of IFM Supervisor.
You will be supervising Staff at Whitworth Hospital and Newholme Health Centre, Matlock, with your base primarily being at Whitworth Hospital although you may be required to work across other areas/sites to ensure continuity of service.
As the IFM Supervisor, you will become an active member of our team working closely with other disciplines and manage domestic cleaning staff.
We are looking for an enthusiastic team member, who is keen to learn and to develop themselves. Previous experience and knowledge of working within a domestic environment is desirable.
