Domestic Assistant - Part Time

Overview

Here at Cross Reach we are looking for a reliable and friendly Domestic Assistant to join our team and help keep our service clean, safe and welcoming. Although you'll only be working 1.5 hours a week, this is an important role, supporting the day to day running of one of our counselling services by maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

You’ll help create an environment where the people we support, visitors and staff feel comfortable and at ease.

• Cleaning communal areas, offices and facilities
• Maintaining hygiene standards in line with health and safety requirements
• Following cleaning schedules and completing basic records
• Handling cleaning materials safely and using equipment appropriate

We’re looking for someone who takes real pride in your work, paying close attention to detail and keeping standards high. You’re reliable and well organised, able to manage your time effectively and work on your own initiative. You bring a warm, respectful and positive approach to everything you do, and you understand the importance of maintaining confidentiality and preserving the dignity of others when working in a care setting.

Previous cleaning experience is helpful, but not essential – we’ll provide any training you need, but may at times work independently, so being able to manage your time effectively is important.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.

We are required to check the entitlement to work in the UK of all prospective employees, regardless of nationality or job category.

We are committed to ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the very best people to build a diverse and talented team and we recognise that every individual’s unique background, experience and ability contributes to our success.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others. Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit.

Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
