Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
Are you looking for a role which allows you to balance your work and home commitments within an organisation that supports its staff? If so, come and join our fantastic domestic team at Hexham General Hospital as a Domestic Assistant.
At Northumbria Facilities Management, we realise that many people have competing priorities outside of their working life and Your Shifts, Your Way offers you the opportunity to tell us what works for you.
Whatever your availability, whether it is for certain shifts on set days, we can offer you shifts worked in your way. If you're unable to commit to traditional shift times and patterns, we can accommodate flexible hours such as later start times and/or earlier finish times or fixed days off.
The department operates between 06:00 - 20:00 and we can be flexible within these hours to accommodate you.
We are also looking to recruit candidates onto our Staff Bank to fill roles on an "as and when required" basis. If you are interested in this please state this on your application form and at interview.
