About the role
Our Head Housekeeper plays a key role in leading all the daily and weekly cleaning routines of their Housekeeping Team. No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

2. Overseeing your team’s cleaning of all areas, including residents’ rooms, lounges, kitchens, bathrooms, and offices.

You’ll put our people at the heart of everything you do – whether that’s hoovering our residents’ bedrooms or polishing their photo frames. We can guarantee that whatever you bring to the role, you’ll see great rewards.
If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.
