Domestic Operative - 12 month Maternity Cover

About the Role

Location: Wadworth.

We are looking for a Domestic Operative to join our adult service. This job involves ensuring that all residential accommodation, offices and communal areas are clean, safe and provide a pleasant environment for people to live and work in, while complying with relevant Health and Safety legislation.

The role may also include working in the central laundry to ensure people's items are laundered in a timely manner, in line with Health and Safety legislation.

Your main area of work will be Wilsic Hall; however, work around the group may be required.

In this role you will ensure that the environment is kept at a high standard of hygiene and cleanliness for the people we support. You will do this by:

• Ensuring records are completed clearly and promptly.
• Following agreed work schedules.
• Working to agreed standards, including relevant Health and Safety legislation.

Working as part of a team, you will ensure the needs of the people we support are best met. You will not waste materials or equipment so that money can be spent on more important things.

This role requires that you be suitably qualified and trained, and that you follow best practice and have a commitment to learning.

Because you are working where the people we support live, you must take extra care with cleaning materials and equipment, ensuring they cannot get into places where they are not required.

This is a part time role for 20 hours a week: Monday - Friday. Working hours between 7am and 4pm.

£13.45 per hour

You should also be able to deal with external visitors in a welcoming and helpful manner, communicate clearly and effectively, follow laid down schedules/procedures, and be willing to suggest improvements.

It is vital that you maintain appropriate levels of confidentiality in this role.

We are committed to building a stable and sustainable workforce to ensure that we provide the best continuity of care for the people we support. While we welcome applications from all candidates, some roles may require candidates to have the right to work in the UK without restrictions due to the nature of the service and staffing requirements.
