Job Overview
The main responsibilities of the Domestic/Housekeeper are to assist in maintaining high standards of cleanliness throughout Townend House, a residential rehabilitation facility that caters up to 16 residents in their addiction recovery. Providing opportunities to involve residents in personalising their bedroom, this enables residents to exercise their basic human rights by empowering them to have a ‘voice’. This approach aims to enable residents to live in a quality environment (Care Inspectorate, 2017). Engaging and involving residents demonstrates how we facilitate dignity, respect and compassion, as well as promoting people’s wellbeing.
This role requires a strong commitment to environmental hygiene standards and a good understanding of COSHH guidelines and procedures.
