About The Role

Please note that this is a full-time role working 32 hours per week. Full flexibility is required.

As a Head Housekeeper at HC-One, you’ll value one thing above all: kindness. It guides everything we do in our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Our Residents are individuals with their own stories. By joining us, you’ll help create a safe, clean, and comfortable home where they feel respected and cared for.

Duties

You’ll Lead The Housekeeping Team To Keep Every Area Spotless. That Means Staying Organised, Setting High Standards, And Always Putting Residents First. Your Key Tasks Will Include

Managing the cleaning rota and daily schedules
Leading by example and supporting your team
Overseeing laundry for personal and shared items
Ordering cleaning products and supplies
Following and updating infection control procedures
Keeping records and completing cleaning checks
Ensuring safety and COSHH guidelines are met
You’ll plan ahead, but you’ll also be ready to jump in when needed. No job will be too small if it helps keep our Residents safe and happy.

We’re looking for someone with housekeeping experience and team leadership skills. You’ll need to be organised and aware of Health & Safety and infection control. Most of all, you’ll be friendly, positive, and kind — in every conversation and every task.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns.

All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also can seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
