Domestic Assistant, Cornerways - 28 hours per week, to include alternate weekends. £12.25, £12.50 per hour at weekends

Clean Spaces. Calm Minds. Cared-for People.

This role is so much more than mops and polish. It’s about creating a space that feels like home - not just looks like it. Because when a room is clean, calm, and cared for, people feel safer. Dignity is protected. And families can relax, knowing their loved ones are in good hands.

As a Domestic Assistant you’ll be a quiet hero of the day-to-day. You’ll make beds, clean rooms, freshen up spaces. But what you’re really doing? You’re helping people feel human. Comfortable. Seen.

What you'll be doing:

  • Cleaning bedrooms, communal areas, and bathrooms to a high standard.
  • Making sure everything feels tidy, safe, and welcoming - just like home should.
  • Supporting dignity in the hardest moments - cleaning with compassion after accidents, when a resident hasn’t made it to the toilet, and making sure they’re never made to feel embarrassed or ashamed.
  • Being respectful and friendly to residents - sometimes stopping for a quick chat, or just a smile.
  • Working closely with care and kitchen teams to keep the home running smoothly.

Who you are:

  • Hard-working, reliable, and someone who takes pride in a job well done.
  • Kind and respectful - you know that a person’s room is their sanctuary.
  • Happy to roll up your sleeves and make a difference behind the scenes.
  • No experience? That’s okay - if you’ve got the right attitude, we’ll teach you everything else.

What we offer:

  • A supportive, friendly team where everyone’s contribution matters.
  • Fully paid training and plenty of career progression opportunities
  • Induction programme with a dedicated mentor to help you feel supported and comfortable in your new role
  • Free DBS check and auto-enrolment pension
  • The use of ‘Flex Earn’ enabling you to access wages earnt in advance of pay day, viewing earnt wages in real time
  • Blue Light Card eligibility – discounts on retail, eating out, and more!
  • Free meals provided when working long shifts
  • Access to Peninsula Care Homes Mental Health First Aider; an external Confidential Care helpline for you and your family members; Peninsula Care Home’s ‘Whycare?’ app and Refer a Friend scheme (earn money for bringing your friends on board!)
  • The chance to be part of something that feels real - because it is.

It’s not always glamorous. It’s not always easy. But it really matters.

If you believe that care can live in the little things - in fresh sheets, a clean floor, a kind smile - we’d love to meet you.
