Job description

Location: Lancaster LA1
Salary: £24,330 plus company van (driving licence essential)
Hours: 37.5 hours per week with flexible working hours between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday.

At Serco, we believe everyone deserves a safe, dignified, and welcoming place to live especially those navigating the asylum process. Through our partnership with the Asylum Accommodation and Support Services Contract (AASC), we provide vital accommodation and support for people while their asylum claim is being processed.

Serco manages a substantial property portfolio and is deeply invested in improving quality standards to ensure that those in our care are comfortable and have access to the services they need. Since 2012, we have provided housing and support to asylum seekers across the UK, helping some of the most vulnerable people in society feel safe and respected while they await news of their immigration status. With over 7,000 properties in our portfolio, we take pride in maintaining all accommodation to a safe, habitable standard in line with the Decent Homes Standard.

We are now looking for a Cleaner to join our team in Lancaster, helping to ensure that every property we manage is clean, safe, and welcoming. This is far more than a cleaning role it's an opportunity to contribute to something that truly makes a difference in people's lives.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Cleaner, you will play an important role in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and presentation across properties in Kendal and the surrounding areas. You'll ensure that accommodation provided to asylum seekers is safe, hygienic, and welcoming supporting individuals and families as they begin to rebuild their lives.

Your work will involve cleaning dispersed homes and communal areas, travelling between sites in the company vehicle, and taking pride in ensuring every property meets the required standards.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking someone who takes pride in their work and is motivated by a sense of purpose. You will need a valid UK driving licence, good communication and basic IT skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

Previous experience in cleaning domestic or similar environments is essential, and experience of cleaning larger or shared households would be an advantage.
