Domestic Assistant, Cornerways - 36 hours per week, to include alternate weekends.£12.25, £12.50 per hour at weekends

More Than a Mop. More Than a Job. Definitely More Than “Just Cleaning.”

Let’s be honest: this role involves hoovers, cloths, and the occasional mystery spill. But it’s also about something much bigger…

It’s about turning four walls into home. About calm in the chaos. About helping people feel safe, dignified, and genuinely cared for.

When a space is clean and cosy, minds feel calmer. Families breathe easier. And residents feel respected — not rushed, embarrassed, or forgotten.

As a Domestic Assistant, you’re not “behind the scenes.” You’re the reason the scene works. You’re the quiet hero who smooths the sheets, freshens the air, and brings comfort without ever asking for applause.

What you’ll do:

  • Cleaning bedrooms, bathrooms, and shared areas so they feel peaceful, safe, and welcoming.
  • Making beds that invite rest, not stress.
  • Handling the tougher moments with humanity - cleaning up after accidents discreetly, kindly, and without judgement.
  • Protecting dignity when it matters most (because everyone deserves that).
  • Sharing a smile, a hello, or a gentle chat with residents who may really need it.
  • Working side-by-side with care and kitchen teams to keep daily life running smoothly.

Who you are:

  • Someone who takes pride in doing things properly - even when no one’s watching.
  • Kind, respectful, and aware that a person’s room is their personal world.
  • Not afraid of hard work, but motivated by knowing it matters.
  • New to care environments? No problem. If your heart’s in the right place, we’ll teach you the rest.

What we offer:

  • A role where you’ll see the difference you make every single day.
  • Fully paid training plus excellent opportunities to grow and progress.
  • A caring induction with your own mentor to help you settle in confidently.
  • Free DBS check and auto-enrolment into our pension scheme.
  • Flex Earn - see and access your earned wages before payday.
  • Eligibility for the Blue Light Card, giving you discounts across shops, restaurants and more.
  • Free meals when you’re working long shifts.
  • Access to a Peninsula Care Homes Mental Health First Aider, an external confidential helpline for you and your family, the ‘Whycare?’ app, and a Refer a Friend scheme (earning you money for bringing your friends on board).
  • The freedom to bring your personality, kindness and creativity into everything you do.

This isn’t about perfection - it’s about compassion. And the simple, powerful feeling of making someone’s day a little better - one clean, cared-for space at a time.

If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, bring warmth as well as polish, and be the reason someone feels at home today, we’d love to have you on the team.
