The Role
At Infinite Age Care, Housekeeping Assistants play a critical role in providing quality housekeeping and cleaning services which focus on infection control and ensure a safe, healthy living environment for residents.
Located at our Mt Lofty Aged Care Facility, you will be working closely with the Facility Manager and the Hotel Services Team Leader. You will be responsible for cleaning resident rooms, common areas, main entrance, outdoor entertainment areas, admin offices, and dining halls, as well as providing laundry services and generally ensuring that residents' daily needs are met.
This role is physical, requiring bending, squatting, lifting, and pushing items to carry out daily tasks safely. It is important you can perform these tasks without risk of injury to yourself, your colleagues, and our residents.
About You
Compassionate, with a customer service mindset, you are a strong communicator and problem solver who ‘thinks on your feet’, builds supportive relationships, and strives for the highest standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and order within the entire facility.
At Infinite Age Care, we hire on attitude and aptitude, so you DO NOT need experience in the aged care sector. However, you need to be aligned with our philosophy and values, possess strong communication skills, be computer literate, and have a commitment to resident wellbeing, as well as the following:
* Demonstrated cleaning experience required.
* Ability to work off set checklists on a daily basis and follow agreed procedures for safety.
* Ability to work with chemicals, hazardous products, and heated equipment safely.
* Ability to work independently and as a member of a team.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with high empathy, as interacting with residents is a daily occurrence.
* Ability to arrive on time for shifts, ready to start work and follow the day's activities positively.
* Adopt a safety-first approach to daily tasks and support colleagues at all times so everyone goes home safe and positive.
