Preston, United Kingdom Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Someone once called our team the ‘Backbone of our Hospitals’ and it has certainly stuck We couldn’t run our hospitals without you and the fantastic work you will do keeping our wards, departments and areas clean, tidy, reducing the risk of infections and effectively helping keep our staff well and our patients safe.

We know you will love the work you do, seeing how you make such a big impact in keeping everything ticking over smoothly, your dedication will shine through. We want you to be proud to wear the purple coloured domestic assistant uniform, feeling a strong and vital part of our hospital team - knowing you are working side by side on the front-lines making a HUGE difference every single day.

Watch our video to find out much more about what the role involves and hear from Mariusz who has been with us over 17 years

In a nutshell, your duties will include general cleaning of the wards, public and staff areas, on a rota with your colleagues as part of our Domestic Team. As you would expect, we do have set cleaning standards and NHS guidelines to work towards, so whilst there is no experience required, we will fully train you on all of this. The work can be physically demanding and we don’t shy away from this, however, we know that this will also be what motivates you.
