We are looking to recruit enthusiastic individuals to join our friendly, hard-working team who helps to provide a range of cleaning related duties across the hospice in a professional manner and to set procedures and high standards.

The ability to work on you own initiative and as part of a team is essential as is having good communication skills and the ability to prioritise and organise the daily duties, whilst maintaining a professional approach at all times regardless of the situation.
