Job description

This is a part-time, permanent, term-time role, working 12.5 to 13.75 hours per week, Monday to Friday, with early morning starts usually between 5:00am and 6:00am. The role pays £14.80 per hour and is based at designated sites across Barking, Dagenham and Ilford.

What we are looking for:

We have several opportunities for friendly and conscientious people to join our professional and expanding float cleaning team. You will be responsible for delivering a top-notch, client orientated, professional cleaning service. Using your knowledge of health and safety regulations, including COSHH (‘control of substances hazardous to health’), you will safely and effectively store and handle cleaning equipment and chemicals to ensure daily and periodical cleaning schedules are completed per site specific agreements. You may occasionally or routinely deliver deep-clean or specialised responsive cleaning services. This is a great entry level role for those who may be less familiar with the cleaning industry, but a great opportunity to get in, start learning and develop over time.

About Us:

BD Group was created by the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham to create positive economic, environmental and social change. We are facilities services company, providing a range of services for public and private sector clients currently across London and the Southeast, but with aspirations to broaden our geographies over time. Our mission is to help communities live, work and grow to fulfil their potential through the delivery of safe, high-quality services based on our unique understanding of local needs.

Duties:

• Dusting, wiping, and sanitising hard surfaces (desks, tables, etc.) and other high-touch areas.
• Cleaning internal windows and windowsills.
• Cleaning washrooms, toilets, basins, and bathroom areas.
• Using commercial cleaning equipment to routinely clean various types of floors.

Qualifications & Experience:

• You will have a friendly manner and willingness to learn, work hard and deliver a great service.
• You will use your initiative to be able to solve routine issues if/when they arise and ensure you always adopt safe working practices. In this role team working and independent working skills are equally important, as is the ability to adopt good working relationships and communicate well with others.
• A good grasp of the English language is essential as you will be required to understand and follow written instructions on cleaning equipment and chemicals.
• Previous experience in a professional cleaning services environment is beneficial but not a must. Our induction and on-the-job training will ensure you have the knowledge to handle the rest. That said, you should have or be willing to work towards a Health and Safety Level 2 qualification and understand the principles relating to COSHH and cross contamination in a cleaning context.
• An enhanced DBS check will be required for this role.

Working Arrangements:

• Part-time, Permanent (12.5 - 13.75 hours per week) , (usually early morning starts from 5am - 6am) Monday to Friday.
• Location: Designated sites in Barking / Dagenham / Ilford.
