Quick Placement, a leading recruitment and temporary staffing agency serving Ipswich and the wider East of England, is seeking experienced and reliable Housekeeping Staff for a variety of immediate assignments. Our clients range from premium hotels and private healthcare facilities to corporate offices and educational institutions, all requiring the highest standards of cleanliness and presentation.

This role is perfect for individuals who take pride in their work, have an eye for detail, and are looking for flexible, ongoing work in the Ipswich IP1 area. By registering with Quick Placement, you gain access to a steady stream of local opportunities, a dedicated consultant, and the support of an agency that understands the specific demands of the hospitality and facilities sectors. Whether you're seeking part-time hours, full-time weeks, or something in between, we can match you with roles that fit your schedule.

Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties

As a Housekeeping Staff member placed by Quick Placement, your primary objective is to maintain exceptional standards of hygiene, order, and comfort within our clients' premises. Your role is crucial to their operations and reputation.

• Comprehensive Cleaning: Performing thorough cleaning of guest rooms, patient areas, offices, or common areas, including vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and polishing surfaces to a high standard.
• Sanitisation & Hygiene: Meticulously cleaning and sanitising bathrooms, kitchens, and high-touch points (door handles, light switches, railings) using approved chemicals and methods, a skill often shared with Healthcare Support Workers in maintaining sterile environments.
• Linen & Supplies Management: Changing bed linens, replenishing guest amenities (soaps, towels, tea/coffee), and managing stock levels of cleaning supplies, reporting any shortages promptly.
• Waste Disposal: Responsible and hygienic removal of waste and recycling from assigned areas, ensuring compliance with client and environmental policies.
• Reporting & Communication: Reporting maintenance issues, damages, or lost property to the relevant supervisor or client contact. Effective communication is key, much like the coordination required for our construction staffing teams on site.
• Special Projects: Assisting with periodic deep cleaning tasks, window cleaning, carpet shampooing, or preparing rooms for new arrivals or events.

Ideal Candidate Profile & Requirements

We are looking for motivated individuals who understand that great housekeeping is the backbone of a positive customer or patient experience. While full training on client-specific procedures is provided, a foundational skill set is essential.

• Proven Experience: Previous experience in a commercial housekeeping, cleaning, or domestic assistant role within hotels, healthcare, or corporate settings is highly valued.
• Reliability & Trustworthiness: Punctuality, consistency, and the ability to work unsupervised are non-negotiable. You will often be working in sensitive environments.
• Physical Fitness: The role involves standing, bending, lifting (within safe manual handling guidelines), and operating cleaning equipment for extended periods.
• Attention to Detail: A keen eye for spotting areas that need attention and a pride in delivering spotless, well-presented spaces.
• Positive Attitude: A professional, friendly, and cooperative demeanour, especially when interacting with guests, patients, or other staff members.
• Right to Work: Must have the legal right to work in the UK. A satisfactory background check may be required for certain clients, similar to our 7-step vetting process for other sectors.

Salary, Pay & Benefits

Quick Placement is committed to offering fair, competitive remuneration that reflects your experience and the specific requirements of each assignment.
