Experienced in cleaning or housekeeping within a care or healthcare environment?
We're looking for a reliable and conscientious Domestic Assistant to join the team at Towy Castle Care Home.
This isn't simply a cleaning job. You'll be working within our residents' home, including their bedrooms and personal spaces, and interacting with residents throughout your working day.
We're therefore particularly interested in people who already have experience of cleaning or housekeeping within a care home, hospital, healthcare, supported-living or similar environment and understand the importance of infection control, confidentiality, dignity and working respectfully around the people in their care.
About the Role
As a Domestic Assistant, you'll play an important part in maintaining a clean, safe, comfortable and welcoming home for our residents.
You'll work throughout the care home, completing scheduled cleaning tasks while being mindful that this is first and foremost our residents' home.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Cleaning residents' bedrooms and bathrooms
- Cleaning communal areas and other areas throughout the home
- Following cleaning schedules and completing required records
- Maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene
- Following infection prevention and control procedures
- Using and storing cleaning products and equipment safely
- Reporting maintenance, safety or housekeeping concerns
- Working respectfully within residents' personal spaces
- Maintaining residents' privacy, dignity and confidentiality
- Communicating appropriately and warmly with residents, visitors and colleagues
- Working with the wider team to maintain a safe and comfortable environment

Who We're Looking For
Previous cleaning, domestic or housekeeping experience within a care home, hospital, healthcare, supported-living or similar environment is strongly preferred.
We're looking for someone who understands that working in a care environment is different from cleaning an empty building or commercial premises. Residents will be around you while you work, and you'll need to be comfortable communicating with people who may have a range of individual needs, including people living with dementia.
You'll need to be:
- Experienced in cleaning, domestic or housekeeping work, ideally within a care or healthcare setting
- Comfortable working around and interacting with residents
- Respectful of people's privacy, dignity and personal space
- Reliable and committed to your rota
- Thorough with good attention to detail
- Able to follow cleaning schedules and infection-control procedures
- Confident working independently and as part of a wider team
- Friendly, patient and professional in your approach
- Able to understand the importance of confidentiality when working in a care environment
