Job overview
We are looking to recruit Domestic Assistants on a permanent basis at our Northumbria Hospital/ Health and Care Academy.
The Trust, its patients, staff and buildings are absolutely central to everything we do in NHFM and we are 100% aligned to the Trust’s Vision, Mission and Values.
Our domestic teams are busy and work hard, but you’ll be given full training and the support you will need.
Being a Domestic Assistant will give you experience of working in a care environment. You’ll work closely with a wide range of staff and get to know them and see what they do. You’ll also get experience of talking to patients and visitors and will get to see the difference you make to them.
We’d love for you to stay within Domestic Services and NHFM, but if you do want to get into a healthcare assistant or nursing role in the future, this is the perfect opportunity to get a foot in the door.
Main duties of the job
Quite simply, the NHS could not function without our Domestics! Every single service in the Trust relies on domestics to keep the place clean and safe for patients, visitors and staff. You’ll be part of a team striving to maintain the highest cleanliness standards in wards, departments, corridors and offices, and in doing so making a real difference to the NHS.
