Do you take pride in your cleaning standards and attention to detail? As a Domestic Assistant, you’ll ensure that our home is clean and welcoming for the people who live and work here.

As part of our Domestic Team, you’ll carry out all daily and weekly cleaning routines, including dusting, mopping, polishing and vacuuming.

You’ll clean all areas in the home including people’s bedrooms, lounges, kitchens, bathrooms and offices.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your skills to make a real difference every day.

Join us as a Domestic Assistant at Hylton Grange care home in Sunderland.

Hylton Grange is part of Exemplar Health Care, a leading provider of nursing care for adults living with complex and high acuity needs.

Hylton Grange supports 30 adults living with complex mental health needs and neuro-disabilities including Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease across three units.

As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

Our Domestic Assistants ensure that our home maintains high standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out all daily and weekly cleaning routines, as well as ad‑hoc duties
• Cleaning and tidying designated areas around the home including bedrooms, lounges, kitchens, bathrooms and offices
• Dusting, mopping, polishing and vacuuming
• Using equipment such as carpet cleaning machines
• Washing and drying laundry, as required
• Reporting breakages, damage, defects and hazards
• Building trust and promoting choice, dignity and independence

You’ll put our people at the heart of everything you do – whether that’s hoovering our residents’ bedrooms or polishing their photo frames. We can guarantee that whatever you bring to the role, you’ll see great rewards.

If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.

We value relevant experience but it isn’t essential for this role.

Above all, you’re someone who identifies with our values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.

• Someone with a keen eye for detail
• An excellent team player
• Passionate about high standards of cleanliness, with great housekeeping skills

Exemplar Health Care began as a healthcare consultancy and training firm. But we soon saw a gap in the sector: a lack of care homes for younger adults living with complex needs.

That insight shaped the mission we still live by today - to transform complex care and provide fulfilling opportunities for the people who need it most.

We’re now proud to have more than 60 care homes across England, providing nursing care for adults living with dementia, neuro‑disabilities, mental health conditions and physical disabilities.

Whoever you are, and whatever experience you bring, there are lots of ways you can help us make every day better…
