Domestic/cleaning work in a hospital is very different to other domestic/cleaning jobs. You may be cleaning wards, theatres, COVID areas and so on. You will have to wear PPE (which will be provided).

Hospital Domestic assistants have a lot of contact with patients, and their family/visitors, so customer service is a large focus. We would expect you to use your people skills to help make patients’ hospital visits more pleasant.

No qualifications are needed to be a domestic assistant, but you need to be aware of hygiene issues, be discrete, be able to respect patients' rights to privacy and dignity, have a pleasant manner and work quickly and meticulously.

We'll need you to be hard working, reliable, flexible, and a good team player. It's even better if you have worked as a domestic or cleaner before.

This could be the role for you and we want to hear from you

If you have applied for this role in the last 3 months, there is no need to reapply

For more information or to arrange an informal visit please contact the Domestic Supervisors on 01270 613399.
