Housekeeper - Band 2 - 37.5 hours - Permanent
An opportunity has arisen for a motivated, enthusiastic individual to join the team on the Planned Orthopaedic Unit (POU) as a housekeeper.
This role will include ensuring the patients journey is a safe and caring experience.
Under the direction of the Sister/Charge Nurse you will help us to ensure that we provide a clean, safe and comfortable environment for our patients and supporting the day to day running of the housekeeping role.
You will need to possess good communication and interpersonal skills. A polite and courteous manner towards patients and relatives will be essential for this role, together with your ability to work under pressure as part of a team, as well as organising your own workload.

The main elements of the role include:
- Catering responsibilities
- Cleaning
- Ordering of stores
- Minor maintenance of equipment
- Re-stocking of areas
- Other specified tasks as directed by the nurse in charge
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role may also include day to day administrative support for the effective running of the ward area, and some tasks supporting patient care and dignity (e.g. support with feeding).
The role holder will be expected to work on their own initiative and plan their workload, although there will be senior colleagues around for advice.
The role covers a 5 day service.
