Previous experience as a housekeeper in a hospital setting is essential and the working pattern will be Monday to Friday.
You will complete the customer service practitioner level 2 apprenticeship during your employment and contracted hours.
The role of Housekeeper is vital for the smooth running of the department, and you will be responsible for supporting the nursing team with non-clinical tasks, ordering patient's food and help maintain a safe, clean, comfortable environment for patients and staff.

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens this year and will provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH . If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continue your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
We have three strategic objectives:
Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do
Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
