Housekeeping Assistant - Platters Farm Lodge

About the Role

Are you looking for a rewarding job where you can really help make a difference to the everyday lives of our residents, staff and visitors? As a Housekeeping Assistant in our dedicated team at our home at Platters Farm Lodge (Rainham, Gillingham), you will ensure a welcoming and safe environment, demonstrating that first impressions matter.

If you take pride in making sure your surroundings are kept to an excellent standard and have a strong interest in Adult Care Services, then you could be just the perfect person we're looking for. This role is full time, working 35 hours per week.

Job Opportunity

As a full time Housekeeping Assistant, you will:

Ensure that the home area is cleaned to the required standard. Support and encourage people who use our services to maintain their personal space in an appropriate and homely manner. Provide a cleaning and housekeeping service to a high standard such that the home is clean and has a healthy and welcoming environment. Support as required, all housekeeping tasks.

As a Strode Park Foundation colleague, you will get comprehensive support from day one and will receive training and development opportunities to develop your skills.

The service also provides people with dementia related care and support. For some people, the fun and nurturing environment of Platters Farm Lodge is their permanent home. The service is vibrant, socially warm, and inviting for the individual and their family and friends. For further information, go to: 

Platters Farm Lodge provides care on a 24-hour basis, 7 days a week including weekends and bank holidays. This means we value reliable and flexible staff. We will consider all requests for flexible working and are proud to be a 'Flex from First' employer. Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you need.

Essential Skills

Our ideal Housekeeping Assistant will:

Have cleaning experience, not necessarily gained through employment. Be able to read and understand instructions, especially the correct use of chemicals. Be flexible to cover the shifts required by the post. Have the ability to communicate with most service users. Be willing and interested in working in a caring environment and supporting service users.

Although not essential, it would be an advantage if you already have experience of working in a care home environment.

Creating an Inclusive Environment

Strode Park Foundation (“Strode Park”) is fully committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce and the elimination of unlawful and unfair discrimination. Strode Park values the differences that a diverse workforce brings to our organisation.

Our aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our service users, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

Strode Park will not discriminate because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (which includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins), religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. It will not discriminate because of any other irrelevant factor and will build a culture that values meritocracy, openness, fairness and transparency.
