Housekeeper - Supported Accommodation

A Trinity Housekeeper takes care of their Community’s houses so that our Coaching Team can support our Residents in taking care of themselves.

The Housing Team (comprised of Housekeeping and Maintenance specialists) set the primary example of how to look after a Home, enabling our residents to model this behaviour and treat their environment with the same respect and care.

When our residents take pride in their homes, they in turn take pride in themselves. By providing a clean and homely environment in our properties, we guarantee our residents have a safe and comfortable place to call home, whilst strengthening our relationships with local Landlords, Neighbours and Letting Agents.

This ensures that they continue to support our Housing Pathway (emergency accommodation  supported housing  independent living) and will enable us to End Homelessness altogether.

As you will be working in an environment with vulnerable adults it is essential that you have the skills to strengthen the relationships in the lives of our residents by being friendly, helpful and respectful to our residents.
