THIS POST HAS AN ANNUAL PAY AWARD PENDING

🧹 Love things neat, tidy, and making a difference behind the scenes?

Join CrossReach as a Relief Housekeeping Assistant and help us create clean, comfortable spaces that feel like home.

Whether you’ve worked in a care setting before or just take pride in creating a welcoming environment, this flexible role could be a perfect fit.

🧡 What You’ll Be Doing

• Keeping living spaces clean, safe and cosy for the people we support
• Helping maintain high standards of hygiene across our service
• Supporting residents to look after their own personal space (when needed)
• Pitching in with the team to keep everything running smoothly
• Helping new staff settle in by sharing your knowledge
• Taking part in team meetings and training to keep things fresh and up to date
  
  

🧽 Don’t worry if you haven’t done this kind of role before—we’re more interested in your attitude than your CV. If you're happy to learn, we’re happy to train!

📅 This Is a Relief Role, Which Means

• You choose your hours – pick up shifts that suit your life
• Great if you're balancing family, studies, semi-retirement, or another job
• A lovely way to gain experience in a care environment without committing to fixed hours
  
  

💡 What We’re Looking For

• A respectful, helpful, and kind nature
• A good eye for detail and a love for keeping things clean and tidy
• Willingness to work as part of a team and learn on the job
• Basic computer skills (just enough to use email and fill in forms online)
• Respect for Christian values and the ethos of CrossReach
  
  

🛡️ This role requires PVG membership (we’ll help guide you through the process).

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.

Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
