Household Assistant
16 hours per week covering Daytime, Evenings, Weekends and Bank Holidays
A REWARDING CAREER THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Contrary to the belief that Hospices are sad, depressing, and upsetting places to work, this is certainly not the case here at St Andrew’s Hospice. We offer a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment where our workforce is at the heart of everything we do, in striving to make each day enjoyable for everyone.
Working for St Andrew’s Hospice offers a very rewarding career with a fantastic team, with 184 Hospice staff, a large well-equipped Hospice site and 21 charity shops working together to ensure that patients and their families have the best possible experience and receive the highest quality of care.
As a member of the Household Team you will work under the supervision of the Household Supervisor, working as part of a multi-functional team, whilst contributing towards the excellent standards of hygiene and cleanliness throughout the Children’s, Adult and Non-Clinical Departments of the Hospice.
Previous cleaning, household and housekeeping experience is essential with full awareness and training in COSHH and infection control. In addition, basic knowledge of a palliative care or care setting environment, though not essential, would be an advantage in this role.
Flexibility is key to this support services role with working hours based upon an internal rota which includes mornings, days, evenings, weekend and bank holiday working.
In return we offer you:
• Incremental pay.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Paid Humber Bridge tolls.
• Death in Service benefit 3 x Salary
• Excellent annual leave.
• Excellent staff benefits.
