Full Job Description
We are looking for a diligent Housekeeper to join our enthusiastic team. The role's main purpose is to provide a high-quality cleaning service for our residents. If you’re passionate about helping others and providing a comfortable environment for people to live in, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
What to expect
As a member of the Nouvita team, you will be making a positive, and noticeable difference to the lives of our service users. The role of a housekeeper is integral to creating a better, cleaner and more comfortable life for those in our care; tasks as simple as changing bedding, though small, create a foundation for routine and mental well-being.
In your new role, you’ll be expected to carry out your jobs professionally and in compliance with company policy – some of your responsibilities include:
- Using correct cleaning equipment, materials and machinery as directed.
- Follow detailed instruction when handling chemicals.
- Maintaining cleaning equipment.
- Ensuring security of all materials by use of locks and diligence when storing.
- Using initiative when seeing something that isn’t to your/Nouvita standards and correcting it.
- Maintaining professional appearance, at all times, while wearing appropriate footwear for the job.
- Maintaining professionalism when interacting with service users.
Though this list of responsibilities isn’t exhaustive, anything you’re unsure of can be discussed with either the home manager or your head of department.
Growth within Nouvita
Nouvita is an established care company, focused on the well-being of those suffering from mental health and learning disabilities. As part of our ever-expanding team, you will have ample opportunity to grow your skills, as well as your career, across nearly a dozen of our services throughout Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
Training
We’re proud to say we provide our own, in-house, training programme for those working in the care sector. Though your role isn’t as a hands-on care professional, we believe anyone working with us should have the training to feel confident and knowledgeable in our homes/hospitals, as such, some courses (paid for by us) will be made available to you.
What we can offer you:
- Up to 28 days annual leave including bank holidays pro rata
- High street discounts via HCPA Academy.
- Career progression.
- Access to our ‘Refer a Friend’ scheme to earn up to £1000.
- Pizza evenings.
- In-house training and development.
