Principal Responsibilities
Job Summary
Candlelighters Cottage is a very special home from home for families whose children are receiving treatment at Leeds Children’s Hospital. The Housekeeper plays a vital role in creating and maintaining an environment where families feel safe, welcomed, comfortable and genuinely cared for during an incredibly difficult time.

The Housekeeper will take primary responsibility for caring for the Candlelighters Cottage, ensuring its bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, communal areas, kitchen and outdoor spaces are clean, safe and beautifully presented, creating a warm and welcoming home from home where families feel comfortable and cared for.
