Join a Growing Professional Cleaning Team

About the Role

Blue Nest Cleaning Co. is seeking reliable, experienced and detail-oriented subcontract cleaners to join our growing team across Brisbane.

We specialise in premium Airbnb turnovers, short-stay accommodation and residential cleaning. We work with property owners and managers who value quality, consistency and professional presentation.

This is an opportunity for independent cleaning contractors looking to access regular work, competitive per-property rates and ongoing opportunities within an established and growing cleaning business.

We are looking for people who take pride in their work, understand the importance of attention to detail and can consistently deliver high-quality results across different properties.

About Blue Nest Cleaning Co.

Blue Nest Cleaning Co. is a professional cleaning company focused on delivering reliable, high-standard cleaning services across Brisbane.

Our approach is built around clear procedures, detailed cleaning checklists and consistent quality control. We believe professional cleaning goes beyond simply completing a task — it's about ensuring every property is properly prepared and presented for its next guest or occupant.

We value reliability, accountability, communication and attention to detail.

What You'll Be Doing

• Performing Airbnb and short-stay accommodation turnovers.

• Completing residential maintenance, deep cleaning and move-in/move-out cleaning.

• Cleaning and sanitising kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.

• Vacuuming, mopping, dusting and detailed surface cleaning.

• Making beds and ensuring professional linen presentation.

• Replenishing guest amenities and consumables.

• Following property-specific cleaning checklists and standard operating procedures (SOPs).

• Completing final presentation checks before leaving each property.

• Taking and submitting timestamped photos and job reports.

• Identifying and reporting damages, missing items, maintenance issues or anything requiring attention.

• Managing time effectively to meet property turnover schedules and check-in deadlines.

What We're Looking For

• Previous professional cleaning experience (Airbnb, hotel housekeeping or residential cleaning preferred).

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to high cleaning standards.

• Reliable transport, preferably your own vehicle, to travel between properties.

• ABN and appropriate insurance for independent contracting.

• Smartphone with access to messaging apps and the ability to submit photos and job reports.

• Basic cleaning equipment and tools.

• Good communication skills and responsiveness.

• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively.

• Reliable, punctual, organised and accountable.

• Availability during daytime hours, including some weekends.

• Flexibility to accommodate same-day turnovers where possible.

What We Offer

• Paid onboarding and training at $32 per hour.

• Competitive per-property rates after training.

• Potential hourly equivalent of $50+ for efficient and experienced contractors, depending on the property, time required and individual performance. This is an indicative earning potential, not a guaranteed hourly rate.

• Regular work opportunities for reliable and consistent contractors.

• Cleaning chemicals and selected supplies provided by Blue Nest.

• Clear cleaning checklists, SOPs and property-specific instructions.

• Ongoing operational support and communication.

• Opportunities to take on additional properties and responsibilities as the business grows.

Work Arrangements

• Location: Brisbane and surrounding suburbs.

• Work type: Airbnb turnovers, short-stay accommodation and residential cleaning.

• Hours: Primarily daytime, depending on property schedules and service requirements.

• Work allocation: Based on contractor availability, location, property requirements and business needs.

• Payment: Training is paid hourly. Ongoing cleaning services are paid per property, with rates communicated and agreed upon before accepting each job.
