We are seeking to recruit a motivated and reliable Facilities Assistant (Domestic) to support the delivery of high-quality cleaning and facilities services across Islay Hospital and associated sites.
The postholder will be responsible for maintaining a clean, safe and hygienic environment in line with the National Cleaning Services Specification and local infection prevention and control (IPC) standards.
