We’re one of the largest not for profit care providers in the UK, specialising in providing high quality, person‑centred care for older people in care homes and extra care housing nationwide. At OSJCT we care about our residents and we care about each other. That means you’ll enjoy great career development working for an expanding organisation. Because we’re a not for profit trust, we invest every penny we make in the people who live in our homes and the people who work here too. This means better quality care and lovely homes for our residents, along with competitive wages and great training and development for our people.
We provide outstanding care, working closely with leading experts on dementia and elderly care. We’re currently modernising our portfolio of care homes – refurbishing our existing homes and moving into new, inspiring, contemporary care homes too. As we expand nationwide, we need more people with the right mix of skills, passion and ambition to help us grow even more. Lake House offers residential and day care situated in the heart of the village of Adderbury, two miles from Banbury. It is a 43 bedded home.

About the Role: Do you want to have greater say over when you work? Bank contracts are not temporary, but they are flexible. They don’t have any guaranteed hours, so when we do offer you work it’s your choice to work or not. This gives you the flexibility to work around your other commitments, such as studies, another job or caring for family members. Or if you are looking to gain experience in the care sector without making a permanent commitment, or to simply keep your hand in if you are partially retired; bank contracts are an excellent option for you.
Our Housekeepers play a vital role in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness in the homes, ensuring that every room and living space is clean, tidy and maintained at all times. A champion for hygiene and infection control within the home, you’ll have access to specialised equipment and materials to create a welcoming, safe and comfortable environment for residents and their families. In joining us, you’ll also become part of our extended family. You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing a safe environment, as well as warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in the homes.
In Return: The Trust is a great place to work; we’re the second largest not‑for‑profit provider in the UK. We offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development. Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a bank worker:
- Higher rates of pay at weekends
- Pro‑rated annual leave entitlement
- Free uniform
- Free DBS
- Free parking
- Refer a Friend reward programme paying £500 for care assistant recommendations
- Blue Light Card offering discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more
About You: You’ll be comfortable in an elderly care setting, with the ability to relate to residents in a caring and sensitive manner. If you’ve worked in a housekeeping role before, that’s great – you already know what to expect. If housekeeping is new to you, we’ll provide all the training you need to start a new career with us. What’s more important to us is that you take pride in your work, you’re good at communicating with people, you enjoy working as part of a team, you’ll be keen to learn and will want to excel at your job every day.
If you think you have the right skills and attitude to deliver the highest quality of care for our residents as a Housekeeper within our care homes, you could be the next to join us. Apply and get your career started with us today.
