We have multiple exciting opportunities available for highly motivated individuals to join our Cleanliness Services Team and be part of a front line team enhancing patient experience by delivering high standards of cleanliness. This is a Facilities Assistant role which will include working at satellite sites in the Shrewsbury area as required and also supporting our portering and catering teams as needed.

This is an alternate weekend working position. Shift pattern will be discussed further during interview.

Full training will be given.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. We look forward to receiving your application for employment. In the event of an extremely high response to this advertisement the post will be closed early.

The role is multi-skilled, working across Cleanliness, Catering and Portering to support hospital services.

We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team - clinical or non-clinical - plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.

We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.

Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.

By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values - ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
