Summary
With 13 years of experience as a hospital cleaner, I bring a strong track record of maintaining high standards of hygiene and infection control in fast-paced healthcare environments. I have developed excellent attention to detail, time management, and the ability to work efficiently under pressure while supporting patient and staff safety. My role has required strong communication skills, reliability, and a clear understanding of confidentiality and privacy in sensitive settings. I am now seeking to apply these transferable skills, along with my practical experience and strong work ethic, to contribute effectively in a new role where cleanliness, organisation, and professionalism are valued.

I work as a healthcare cleaner in a hospital, where I maintain strict hygiene and infection control standards to support patient and staff safety. I am responsible for cleaning and sanitising between 9 and 18 rooms per shift, consistently achieving high standards across wards and communal areas. My work focuses on disinfecting high-touch surfaces and responding promptly to routine and urgent cleaning requests, helping to minimise infection risks and maintain a safe environment. I adhere strictly to privacy and confidentiality requirements in sensitive clinical settings and follow all health and safety guidelines, including the correct use of cleaning chemicals. I also manage waste disposal in line with hospital protocols, ensure proper segregation, monitor cleaning supply levels to avoid shortages, and contribute to a well-organised, efficient, and hygienic workplace at all times.
