Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced supervisor to join the Domestic services department. The role of the domestic supervisor is critical in ensuring that the required standards of cleaning within a healthcare environment are adhered to.
A can-do attitude is key. Knowledge and experience of supervising a cleaning service is essential, and any such experience within healthcare would be beneficial. The ability to work as part of a large team is also essential, as is the need for flexibility to meet the ever-changing needs of the service.
