Why Join Gilmerton Care Home?
Creating a warm, clean and welcoming environment is an important part of helping residents feel comfortable and truly at home, and as a Housekeeping Assistant, you will play a valuable role in maintaining the high standards that support daily wellbeing and overall quality of life throughout the home.

Working as part of the wider team, you will help maintain excellent standards of cleanliness across resident bedrooms, communal areas and shared spaces while ensuring the home remains organised, safe and welcoming at all times. Alongside supporting daily housekeeping routines, you may also assist with laundry services, helping ensure clothing, bedding and personal belongings are handled carefully and returned promptly to residents.

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who takes pride in maintaining high standards, values attention to detail and understands how important a clean, comfortable and well presented environment is in supporting dignity, wellbeing and positive daily experiences.

What Matters Most

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to maintaining excellent standards
  • Understanding of hygiene, infection prevention and health and safety procedures is beneficial
  • Ability to support both housekeeping and laundry responsibilities where required
  • Reliable, hardworking and professional approach with pride in maintaining a well organised environment
  • Positive attitude and understanding of the importance of comfort and resident wellbeing

If you are looking for a role where your work helps create comfort, safety and a welcoming environment every day, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Alor Healthcare provides high quality care in welcoming and supportive environments where residents are treated with dignity, respect and compassion.
We are committed to creating workplaces where people feel valued, supported and encouraged to grow. Whether you are new to care or bringing experience, you will be part of a team that takes pride in making a positive difference every day.
