Homemaker

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Homemaker to join the Accommodation and Support service within Sheffield City Council.

We are looking for Homemaker to work as part of Sheffield City Council’s Housing and Neighbourhood Service, supporting the delivery of a quality Housing Service.

Are you a real people person? Able to work as part of a team? Are you hard working and have good communication skills and deliver excellent customer care? Do you hold a full driving licence, but not essential.

You will need to show a basic understanding of numeracy and literacy skills and will use IT equipment to record your work.

Be in a position to carry out the physical demands of the role, which include cleaning, and manual handling of bulky items.

You will need to have the ability to work under pressure, meeting targets and deadlines, maintain accurate records and operate within policy and procedures with good administration skills.

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council.

If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide pay slip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.

Equality of pay is extremely important to us. All roles at Sheffield City Council are going through an evaluation process which may result in changes to some pay arrangements from 2026.
