About the Role

Your responsibilities will include a range of cleaning tasks:

• Mopping, vacuuming, and dusting
• Cleaning toilets, floors, and offices
• Emptying bins and sanitising surfaces
• Litter picking within yard and car park areas

This is a hands‑on role that involves manual handling, but we will provide all the training and support you need to succeed.

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• Friendly, reliable, and self‑motivated
• Able to work independently and manage their own time
• Comfortable communicating with customers and managers
• Committed to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety

Previous cleaning experience is a bonus, but not essential.

• Employee referral scheme
• Full training and induction provided – no experience needed!

Ready to Apply?

If you are looking for a flexible role where you can make a real impact, we would love to hear from you! Before you apply, make sure that you can get to the location for the hours stated, and that the total weekly hours are in line with your expectations.

Please there is limited on‑site parking available at this location. If you rely on public transport, check that the location has good public transport links and that the cost and time of the commute are not excessive.

What Happens Next?

If your application is successful, we will invite you to take part in a short virtual assessment. It is a great opportunity to showcase your skills and personality by answering seven questions relating to your cleaning background and five supplemental Yes or No questions – either on video or audio‑only, whichever you are most comfortable with.

You can complete it using a laptop, smartphone, or tablet – whatever works best for you – and you can do it at a time that suits you.

Don’t have the means to complete this or would prefer to speak with one of our team? No problem, we can also offer a short telephone assessment as an alternative.

​Please note: This vacancy may close early once we receive enough applications – so don’t wait!
