Domestic/cleaning work in a hospital is very different to other domestic/cleaning jobs.

You may be cleaning wards, theatres, COVID areas and so on. You will have to wear PPE (which will be provided).

Hospital Domestic assistants have a lot of contact with patients, and their family/visitors, so customer service is a large focus. We would expect you to use your people skills to help make patients’ hospital visits more pleasant.

No qualifications are needed to be a domestic assistant, but you need to be aware of hygiene issues, be discrete, be able to respect patients' rights to privacy and dignity, have a pleasant manner and work quickly and meticulously.

We'll need you to be hard working, reliable, flexible, and a good team player. It's even better if you have worked as a domestic or cleaner before.

This could be the role for you and we want to hear from you!

If you have applied for this role in the last 3 months, there is no need to reapply

For more information or to arrange an informal visit please contact the Domestic Supervisors on 01270 613399.

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) provides good quality, safe and effective healthcare to the people of Cheshire and beyond.

The Trust, which manages Leighton Hospital in Crewe, Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford, was established as an NHS Trust in April 1991 and became a Foundation Trust in April 2008.

We employ almost 5,000 members of staff, provide around 540 hospital beds, with a range of services including accident and emergency, maternity, outpatients, therapies, and children's health.

The Trust is also part of Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP), a unique local health partnership that provides a range of community services for people across South Cheshire and Vale Royal.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, the Trust was recognised nationally for its Be Safe Be EquiPPEd campaign, which aimed to make the Trust as safe as possible for staff and patients, through supporting the correct use of PPE.

The results in the 2020 national NHS Staff Survey showed improvements in all elements of the safety culture theme, with 92% of respondents feeling their role made a difference to our patients. We were also recognised nationally for our workforce health and wellbeing initiatives.

At Mid Cheshire, we value our staff and appreciate that in order to give our patients the best quality, compassionate care, we also need to look after our colleagues.
