Who we are looking for
We are looking for responsible, caring Domestic Assistant to join our fantastic team at Wetheringsett Manor School in Wetheringsett, Stowmarket. As a Domestic Assistant, you will help support our pupils and young people in their daily lives, ensuring our facilities are well prepared to keep them comfortable and healthy.
This is a great opportunity to work as part of a team committed to helping pupils with varied and complex needs.
Our Domestics carry out an essential role to maintain the standards of cleanliness required by the pupils and young people in our care. You will take pride in ensuring domestic duties including vacuuming, mopping, rubbish removal, dusting and cleaning are carried out to the highest standards.
