We have fantastic housekeeping and laundry teams across our sites, but we need a strong healthcare professional (IPC Lead) to provide expert leadership, guidance, and direction. Post-COVID, our organisation is in a resetting phase, and we’re looking for an infection prevention and control expert to help us enhance and standardise our housekeeping and laundry operations.
This role requires more than just senior housekeeping and laundry experience—we need someone with multi-site management expertise who can work with local housekeeping supervisors and their teams to drive consistency, compliance, and efficiency across all locations. You’ll be responsible for reviewing and updating policies, developing standard operating procedures and cleaning documentation, and ensuring all practices align with the latest infection prevention and control standards.
You’ll also identify priority projects—such as creating SOP’s for our hard working laundry team and rolling out new clothes labelling system for residents—and oversee their successful implementation. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as you’ll be developing training programs, managing a dispersed workforce , and working with suppliers to strengthen partnerships.
Locations: You will be based at our largest campus in Barnet, but will visit all sites (Golders Green, Hendon, St Johns Wood, Stanmore, Redbridge & Southend etc.).
This 12-month fixed-term role spans multiple sites and frequent travel is essential in order to understand local operations and work closely with teams, so access to a vehicle for work is required.
If you’re a strong healthcare professional with expertise in infection prevention and control, multi-site operations, and leadership, we want to hear from you! Apply now.
