Our Business Services team keep things running smoothly for all of us here at Northumbria Police.

• Use of floor machines will be required such as floor scrubber/dryers.
• Emptying bins and other general cleaning duties.
• Maintaining up to date knowledge of health and safety legislation and complying with cleaning safety standards.
• This is a physical role which also requires working at height.

This is a really important role in our Police Force, so we are looking for someone who takes pride in what they do. You don't need to have been a cleaner before - you just need a willingness to learn, the ability to work alone and as part of a team. It's also essential that you have a reasonable level of fitness and that you are punctual and reliable.
