More than just cleaning – help us maintain the highest standards in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Are you experienced in production cleaning, industrial cleaning or maintaining hygiene standards within a manufacturing environment?

Do you take pride in your work, have an excellent eye for detail and understand the importance of following procedures?

We're looking for reliable and motivated GMP Production Cleaning Operatives to join our team at Catalent Pharma Solutions in Swindon.

Working within a pharmaceutical manufacturing environment, you'll play an important role in ensuring production areas remain clean, safe and compliant with strict hygiene and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.

This isn't a traditional office or commercial cleaning role. You'll be working in a specialist production environment where consistency, attention to detail and following the correct procedures are essential.

You'll work alongside an established team, helping to maintain the standards that support the manufacture of pharmaceutical products.

If you have experience in food production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, industrial cleaning or another regulated environment, we'd particularly like to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

You'll be responsible for maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene throughout designated production and support areas.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out scheduled cleaning within production and controlled areas.
• Following detailed cleaning instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and task schedules.
• Working in line with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements.
• Using the correct cleaning equipment, products and methods for each designated area.
• Following site hygiene procedures, colour coding, PPE and COSHH requirements.
• Maintaining accurate cleaning records and ensuring tasks are completed correctly.
• Identifying and reporting any cleaning, equipment or building maintenance issues.
• Working closely with colleagues and supervisors to maintain consistent standards.
• Taking responsibility for ensuring your allocated areas meet the required hygiene and cleanliness standards.

What we're looking for

We're particularly interested in people who have worked in environments where cleanliness, hygiene and following procedures are essential.

You might have previously worked as a:

• Production Cleaner.
• Industrial Cleaner.
• GMP Cleaner.
• Cleanroom Operative.
• Food Production Operative.
• Hygiene Operative.
• Manufacturing Operative.
• Pharmaceutical Production Operative.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous experience in cleaning, production hygiene or a manufacturing environment.
• An understanding of workplace hygiene and safe working practices.
• Good attention to detail and the ability to follow detailed instructions.
• An understanding of COSHH and the importance of using cleaning chemicals safely.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• A reliable and flexible approach to work.
• The ability to work a 07:00–19:00 shift pattern, four days out of seven.

Experience within a GMP, pharmaceutical, food manufacturing or cleanroom environment would be advantageous.

Don't worry if you haven't worked in pharmaceuticals before. Experience in other controlled or regulated production environments can be equally valuable.

What's in it for you?

At Sodexo, we recognise the importance of our frontline colleagues and the contribution they make every day.

Alongside your hourly rate, you'll benefit from:

• A four-day working pattern, with three days away from work each week.
• Opportunities to develop your skills and build a career within Sodexo.
• Access to our employee discounts scheme, with savings across a range of popular retailers.
• 24-hour virtual GP service.
• Employee Assistance Programme, offering wellbeing, financial and legal support.
• Pension scheme.
• Bike to Work Scheme.
• Access to learning and development opportunities.
• Enhanced Sodexo benefits and leave policies.
