New Casual Opportunity in Quayside Court

At Bield our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We are a non-profit organisation with charitable status committed to providing a wide range of housing, care and support services to enable older people in Scotland to live independent and fulfilling lives.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a casual Retirement Housing Assistant at Quayside Court. The successful candidate will undertake a range of cleaning duties to ensure that internal communal areas are clean, hygienic and meet the standards expected by our tenants and visitors to the development.

On occasion, the Assistant will be expected to clean vacant flats and/or external pathways of the development and provide general and emergency assistance to tenants, as required. In addition, you will respond to property emergencies, taking appropriate action when the Manager is off duty and providing cover for the development office as required.

Quayside Court offers safe and secure homes designed especially for those aged 60 and over. The development overlooks the River Tay and is very close to the city centre where there are excellent bus and train links. It is within easy walking distance of a variety of shops, GP surgeries, dentists, a museum and an art gallery.
