Relief Housekeeping Assistant

At Cross Reach, our housekeeping teams play a vital role in creating safe, welcoming and comfortable environments for the people we support. We are looking for a Relief Housekeeping Assistant to join our team and help maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene across the service, supporting both residents and colleagues as part of a wider care team.

• Maintaining a high standard of cleanliness throughout the building in line with Cross Reach standards
• Supporting day to day housekeeping tasks as directed by senior staff
• Working flexibly on a relief basis, including shifts allocated via rota
• Assisting individuals to maintain their personal space in line with their personal plans
• Supporting new colleagues to learn housekeeping routines and standards
• Taking part in staff meetings, training and health and safety requirements
• Following COSHH guidance and safe working practices at all times

You will be reliable, practical and take pride in creating clean and well organised spaces. You will be comfortable working as part of a team, able to follow guidance from senior colleagues and respectful in your approach to supporting others. Previous experience in a care or similar setting is helpful but not essential, as full training will be provided. Basic computer skills, including email and internet use, are required.

• Flexible relief work that fits around other commitments
• Full training and ongoing support
• A welcoming team environment where your contribution is valued
• The opportunity to make a positive difference every day
• This role requires membership of the PVG Scheme and appropriate vetting checks.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organization 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.

As a Christian organisation, you will need to have a respect for all aspects of Christian worship. You will also need to become a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to adhere to the SSSC Code of practice.

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 aim to create an inclusive and inspiring environment where individuals feel valued and respected and where people can belong, thrive and be their very best, whoever they are.
