The role:
People caring for people. That’s what it’s all about at Ramsay Health Care UK. Thorough hygiene standards – and a bright, clean environment are key to delivering the very best patient care. So, your can-do attitude, customer focused approach and high standards make you the perfect person to join us in this Housekeeper role.
You’ll be involved in cleaning all areas of the hospital, from wards to theatres. We’ll give you all the training you’ll need – including getting you up to speed on infection control regulations. As a vital part of the team, you’ll be valued for your hard work and skills – and given the chance to build on them through our Ramsay Academy.
Where you’ll be based:
Mount Stuart Hospital is part of Ramsay Health Care UK, one of the leading independent healthcare providers in England. The hospital opened in 1984 and is one of Devon's leading private hospitals with an excellent reputation for delivering high quality healthcare for patients with health insurance, patients who are self-funding treatment or NHS patients exercising choice through the e-referral system.
By investing in the latest advanced medical technology, we offer a wide range of treatments and services. We care for patients from initial outpatient consultation and diagnostic scanning through to surgical treatment and recovery.
We are proud to be in partnership with some of the most qualified and experienced Consultants, along with dedicated staff who are highly trained and pride themselves on maintaining the highest levels of patient care to encourage a full and speedy recovery.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Mount Stuart Hospital hospital where you can be sure to receive the highest standard of patient care.
What you’ll bring with you:
What is a Bank contract:
A Bank contract at Ramsay Health Care UK is a flexible employment agreement where you are not committed to a set number of hours per week. Instead, you work on an ad-hoc basis, filling in shifts that we have available in our hospitals. A Bank contract is ideal for individuals seeking flexibility, as it allows you to choose shifts that fit your availability, leaving you with a greater work-life balance. Bank contracts are also a fantastic way to secure additional income alongside other contracted work. Our Bank staff play a crucial role in maintaining service levels during peak times or staff shortages, ensuring that patient care remains uninterrupted.
