Here, every spotless space shows how much we care.

We’re looking for an ambitious Housekeeping Supervisor to join our team and help provide outstanding and high-level customer service to our patients. From managing a team, producing weekly rotas to cleaning private rooms and the public areas everyone enjoys, your team will play a big part in helping us make our hospitals warm and welcoming. We’ll look to you to uphold our high standards by ensuring all areas are clean, presentable, and safe for visitors and patients.

You might find the work familiar, but there is also a shared sense of purpose in delivering a complete patient care experience. That means you can make a special kind of difference to people just when they really need it, whether that’s by ensuring a patient’s room is gleaming before admission, or our communal areas are clean and tidy for visitors, everything you do here will have a direct impact on our patients and their families, reassuring them they’re in the best hands when they’re at their most vulnerable.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for a special kind of person to join us. You’ll be both professional and friendly – someone who’s completely focused on customer service, with a can-do attitude. As well as this you’ll:

• have experience supervising housekeeping teams within a similar environment

• be great with people, able to communicate clearly with team members and customers

• have a clear understanding of the importance of legislation and regulations – including hygiene, health and safety, uniform and others

• be completely focused on customer service, with a can-do attitude

• be comfortable working under pressure while maintaining a positive attitude
