The Role
As a Lead Housekeeper, you will ensure the home is kept clean and safe at all times while meeting hygiene and cleanliness standards, supervise and manage team members, and working together as a team to create a happy and caring atmosphere.
Whether you are dusting a resident’s room and reminiscing with them about their previous job, cleaning a bathroom, carrying out a direct observation on a member of staff, or completing an infection control audit, you will do so with care at the heart of everything you do.
1. Do you want to make a difference to someone's life and feel a sense of purpose in an extremely rewarding role?
2. Are you able to lead a team, effectively delegate and supervise others to ensure all work is carried out to a high standard?
3. Do you take pride in maintaining a tidy, safe and clean environment?
4. Do you have an eye for detail and a passion for maintaining high standards of cleanliness?
5. Are you caring, warm and understanding?
6. Are you spontaneous, patient, flexible and have a good sense of humour?
7. Do you strongly believe in the values of Creating Communities, Caring for Each Other and Celebrating Individuality?
If your answer is yes to all these questions, why not join our Hartford Care family?
