DEVELOPMENT DETAILS

You’ll be part of a vibrant new community set across a 4.7-acre former industrial site now transformed into a modern London Square development of 450 apartments. The setting blends landscaped courtyards, an on-site Co-op and creative studios with a residents’ gym and a welcoming 12-hour concierge, giving your work real variety indoors and out. With Bermondsey and London Bridge stations a short walk away, the location is well-connected and busy—an ideal backdrop for someone who takes pride in maintaining spotless spaces where people live, work and relax.

ROLE EXPECTATIONS

You will keep communal areas pristine and welcoming, from lobbies, lifts and corridors to courtyards, refuse stores and the residents’ gym. Each day you’ll follow a cleaning schedule, respond to ad-hoc requests from the concierge team, manage waste and recycling, and report any maintenance issues you spot to keep the development safe and looking its best.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Communal spaces are consistently immaculate, with high-touch areas sanitised and floors gleaming by mid-morning.
• Waste and recycling are managed efficiently, with bin rooms clean, tidy and collections prepared on time.
• You build positive rapport with residents and the concierge team, responding to requests with warmth and professionalism.
• Health and safety, COSHH and site procedures are followed without fail, with accurate records and checklists completed.
• Issues are identified early and reported clearly, helping prevent problems and keep the development running smoothly.
• Timekeeping is reliable and you take ownership of your tasks, keeping to schedules and standards.

HOW YOU'LL SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME

• Sweeping, mopping, vacuuming and dusting corridors, lobbies, stairwells and lift cars to a high standard.
• Cleaning glass, mirrors, brass and mailbox areas to maintain a polished first impression.
• Maintaining refuse and recycling areas, rotating bins and ensuring collections are prepared and spaces sanitised.
• Servicing the residents’ gym, including equipment wipe-downs and replenishing consumables.
• Spot‑checking courtyards and external paths, litter picking and seasonal tasks like light jet‑washing or leaf clearing.
• Recording tasks, completing checklists and reporting defects or safety concerns to the management team.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

• You’re an early riser who takes pride in delivering high standards without needing close supervision.
• You’re friendly, approachable and comfortable interacting with residents and colleagues throughout the day.
• You’re organised, detail-focused and motivated by seeing immediate results from your work.
• You’re safety-conscious and follow procedures carefully, from COSHH to site sign‑in and reporting.
• You’re physically fit and happy working both indoors and outdoors in all seasons.
