A rewarding career that makes a difference.
Our staff and volunteers make St Andrews Hospice. Without our committed and caring workforce we could not provide the outstanding home from home service within our local community. We have about 180 staff, including 68 clinical staff, enabling us to provide vital 24-hour care, seven days a week.
We have a very rewarding opportunity for a Household Assistant. We are looking for someone that has experience within a cleaning role, ideally with experience of working within a care environment. If this sounds like you then we would love to hear from you.
In return we offer you:
- Competitive salary

- Tolls paid for staff who live over the Humber Bridge
- Generous annual leave allowance
