About Us

The Fire Fighters Charity offers specialist, lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community, empowering individuals to achieve mental, physical and social wellbeing throughout their lives.

We recognise that no two people requesting our support do so for the same reason and we therefore tailor our service to achieve the best outcomes for each of our beneficiaries. Harcombe House is a stunning example of a Grade II listed building and is the perfect setting for residents and guests to recover. You’ll discover Harcombe House is easily commutable from Newton Abbot and within easy reach of Exeter.

We’re now looking for a number of Housekeepers to join our team at Harcombe House and ensure our centre is a clean, tidy and presentable environment for all our guests.

The Benefits

- Salary of £9.30 per hour
- Pension: 8% pension contributions (contributions are paid by the Charity on your behalf; you may also choose to make your own contribution if you wish to do so)
- Annual leave: 25 days’ holiday rising to 27 plus Bank Holidays (pro rata)
- Life assurance: 3 x basic salary
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
- Become a beneficiary of the Charity

The Role

About You

To join us as a Housekeeper, you’ll need:
