Job description
Aldine House is a modern, purpose built secure children’s home for young people (male and female). We are licensed to provide care, education and support to ten children and young people aged between 10 and 18. As a specialist service, we provide a critical first-line child protection and public protection service. We work with young people who have been placed in secure accommodation either because they are deemed to be too vulnerable to be placed in an open residential placement, they have been sentenced by the courts or they have been placed with us on remand.
We currently have a full-time vacancy for a Domestic Assistant. Working as a Domestic Assistant you will be responsible for maintaining a hygienic and safe environment for our young people, visitors and staff.

You may, on occasion, provide support to the Cooks in the kitchen.
We need an enthusiastic, friendly and motivated individual to ensure day to day delivery is kept to the very highest standards, whilst maintaining excellent customer care.
Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.
We are committed to fairness and social justice and welcome applications from everyone. We value our diverse workforce and aim to work together to make the most of our differences. Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.
