Job description

Leeds Bradford Airport is one of the UK’s fastest-growing regional airports, welcoming millions of passengers each year. We’re committed to employing reliable, high-quality people who take pride in their work and live our values to Be the Best, Work as One Team and Do the Right Thing, helping to create a clean, safe and welcoming environment for everyone who travels through our airport.

What Your Day-to-Day Will Feel Like

In this role, you’ll play an essential part in keeping the airport clean, safe and welcoming for everyone who uses it. Your work supports the smooth running of a busy airport environment where high standards of cleanliness really matter and are genuinely valued.

You’ll work as part of a supportive, close-knit cleaning team, taking pride in your work and working collaboratively to maintain cleanliness across the terminal and surrounding areas. While interaction with passengers may be limited, a professional and respectful approach is important at all times.

Your shift pattern follows a consistent 4 days on, 4 days off rota, working night shifts between 6pm and 6am. Every four working days, you’ll enjoy four consecutive days off, giving you extended time away from work that many colleagues find offers more flexibility and rest than a typical long weekend. This predictable structure makes it easier to plan personal time well in advance.

What’s in It for You

• - Hours & Shift Pattern: Full-time, 4 days on / 4 days off, night shifts 18:00pm – 6:00am.
• - Holiday Allowance: Generous holiday entitlement, increasing with length of service.
• - Pension Scheme: Up to 6% employer contribution
• - Parking: Free on-site airport parking
• - Career Progression: Opportunities to grow within the cleaning team or across other airport roles.

Requirements for this Role

• - Ability to pass Criminal Record Check, Counter Terrorism Check, and vetting requirements.
• - Must be able to provide a continuous five-year checkable work/ education history and explain any gaps in that history over 28 days.
• - Physically able to perform cleaning duties.
• - Previous cleaning experience is desirable but not essential.
• - Knowledge of health and safety and COSHH is desirable but not essential.
