About The Role & Who We’re Scouting

We’re on the lookout for a passionate Housekeeper to join our squad at Leicester City Football Club. As an Housekeeping Operative, you’ll play a key role in the operation of the Club's new training ground facilities, maintaining the highest standards and creating an environment that we are all proud to work in.

Reporting into the Executive Housekeeper, your main responsibility will be to help the department deliver a first‑class cleaning schedule across the site. If you're excited about making a difference and contributing to the Club’s success, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Whilst the ideal candidate will have previous experience working in a similar role, this is not essential; we are looking for people with a positive and proactive attitude towards work, who understand the essential role they play in the upkeep of the training ground, have a keen attention to detail, and take pride in delivering a high quality service.

As a 7‑day operation, the successful candidate will need the ability to follow a flexible and changing rota, working 5 days over 7 including evening and weekends. Due to the private / remote location of the training ground, the successful candidate will need access to their own transportation as there are no direct public transport routes available.

If you think your experience and skills match, and you’ve got the drive, energy, and skills to work in a fast‑paced, high‑performance environment, we want you on our team!
