Domestic Services Assistant

Permanent / Part Time

Hospice Band 2 - £25,705 WTE (rising to £26,763 following review & satisfactory performance) pro-rata, per annum + Unsocial Hours Enhancement + Pension + Benefits

22.5 hours per week (Back Shift), Monday to Sunday (3 over 7)

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual to join our friendly, hard-working team who help to provide a range of cleaning related duties across the hospice in a professional manner and to set procedures and high standards.

Cleaning experience is desirable although full training will be given. Responsibilities will include general cleaning tasks such as the disposal of refuse, high / low dusting, cleaning sanitary areas, wet mopping and cleaning of patient equipment.

The ability to work on you own initiative and as part of a team is essential as is having good communication skills and the ability to prioritise and organise the daily duties, whilst maintaining a professional approach at all times regardless of the situation.

Experience with cleaning equipment or working within a healthcare setting would be an advantage, as would knowledge of COSHH, manual handling and infection control, but this is not essential as full training will be provided. You must be prepared to work shift patterns which also include weekends.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Rad Dys. Contact details are on our website.

This post requires the post holder to have a criminal record check (Disclosure Scotland) at Basic level. An application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before the successful candidate can begin in post. The Hospice will pay the cost for this check.
