An opportunity has arisen to recruit Housekeepers on a full time and/or part time basis to work on the Surgical Assessment Unit at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. The ward is equipped to care for 38 inpatients and a very busy Surgical Assessment Area.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working housekeeper who will work as an integral part of the team ensuring a clean, safe and comfortable environment at all times. You will need excellent interpersonal skills, as you will be liaising with and helping patients throughout the working day. You will also be required to communicate with all levels of staff both face to face and over the phone.
The post holder will be required to maintain stock levels and participate in the ordering of stock. You will also be required to maintain a high level of cleanliness within the ward. Applicants with previous experience in a health care setting are desirable; however, you will need to demonstrate commitment to developing yourself to support the nursing team in caring for patients and ensuring the patient experience is positive.
To assist in the smooth running of the ward by promoting a clean and healthy environment. To be responsible for ensuring adequate stocks of consumables are maintained to meet service requirements and that all equipment within the department is clean and in good working order. To assist in the transfer of patients and equipment.
We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team, clinical or non-clinical, plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times. We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.
Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding. By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
