Full Job Description

Do you take pride in your cleaning standards and attention to detail? As a Domestic Assistant, you'll ensure that our home is clean and welcoming for the people who live and work here.

As part of our Domestic Team, you'll carry out all daily and weekly cleaning routines, including dusting, mopping, polishing and vacuuming.

You'll clean all areas in the home including people's bedrooms, lounges, kitchens, bathrooms, kitchens and offices.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a brand new team, in a state of the art, purpose built home. You'll have the chance to really make your mark.

About Exemplar Health Care
Laurel Place is part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country's leading nursing care providers.

When open, Laurel Place will support adults living with acquired brain injuries, complex mental health needs, dementia and physical disabilities.

As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

About the role
Our Domestic Assistants ensure that our home maintains high standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

carrying out all daily and weekly cleaning routines, as well as ad-hoc duties
cleaning and tidying designated areas around the home including bedrooms, lounges, kitchens, bathrooms, kitchens and offices
cleaning duties including dusting, mopping, polishing and vacuuming
using equipment such as carpet cleaning machines
supporting with washing and drying laundry, as required
reporting breakages, damage, defects and hazards
building trust and promoting choice, dignity and independence.
You'll put our people at the heart of everything you do - whether that's hoovering our residents' bedrooms or polishing their photo frames. We can guarantee that whatever you bring to the role, you'll see great rewards.

If you haven't worked in the care sector before, we'll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.

We value relevant experience but it isn't essential for this role.

Above all, you're someone who identifies with our values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.

You're also:

kind, caring and understanding
someone with a keen eye for detail
an excellent team player
passionate about high standards of cleanliness, with great housekeeping skills
a positive person with a can-do attitude
a great listener and communicator.
