Being a Domestic Assistant at Herefordshire Care Homes
Domestic Assistants at Herefordshire Care Homes come from all walks of life. You may have no or mínimal experience but are keen to explore a new career in care.

If you are kind, friendly and care about the life about older people then we could have just the role for you.

Led by the Head Housekeeper, you'll be responsible for carrying out all cleaning duties including communal areas, resident's rooms and en-suites.

What you'll need
