This is a fantastic opportunity for you to become part of our DCHS Domestic Team.

Working either individually or as part of a team to ensure a clean and safe environment is maintained for patients, staff and visitors following agreed work schedules, methods and procedures in accordance with the National Standards of Cleanliness.

You will be required to have a flexible approach and be prepared to work on other sites should service demands dictate.

You will be an integral part in delivering outstanding patient care at Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust (DCHS).
