Overview

As a Housekeeping Assistant with CrossReach, you’ll help create a clean, safe and welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable and at home. You’ll make sure bedrooms, bathrooms and shared spaces are well cared for and inviting, supporting the health and wellbeing of the people who live here.

Your attention to detail and pride in your work will make a real difference every day.

What Your Day Could Involve

Each day will bring something different. You might clean bedrooms and communal areas, change bed linen or help keep things organised. You’ll notice what needs attention, take care to keep everything running smoothly and work closely with a friendly, supportive team to maintain a calm, homely atmosphere.
