ABOUT OUR ROLE
Our Housekeepers play a vital role in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness in our homes, ensuring that every room and living space is clean, tidy and maintained at all times.  A champion for hygiene and infection control within the home, you’ll have access to specialised equipment and materials to ensure you can create a welcoming, safe and comfortable environment for residents, as well as their friends and families. Some of our residents love to join in with simple cleaning and laundry tasks, so you may sometimes find that you have extra help as you carry out your daily routines.

You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing a safe environment, as well as warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes. In the heart of Wing Village, a new care home is taking shape - where every day will be shaped by the people who live here. Our care home has been thoughtfully refurbished to offer modern, comfortable surroundings designed with today’s residents in mind. Located in the quiet village of Wing, just outside Leighton Buzzard, our home is a short walk from the village centre in a peaceful setting, right at the heart of the local community. Be among the first to choose one of our 75 en-suite bedrooms, with views of our green spaces, and designed to support comfort, independence, and dignity.
