What you'll be doing
You’ll be part of a dedicated and compassionate team, all working together to ensure the smooth running of the hospital and to support the wellbeing of our patients. While your role doesn’t involve providing direct care, your contribution is vital in helping to maintain a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for everyone.

- Clean and maintain shared spaces, including lounges, kitchens, dining areas, hallways, bathrooms, and staff facilities to a high standard.
- Monitor, order, and organise cleaning supplies and household stock to ensure essential items are always available.
- Use our simple digital system to record completed cleaning tasks and maintain accurate daily records.
