If you are looking for full-time contractual shift work in a cleaning/housekeeping role with locational flexibility across Southwest London then this is the job for you!

We have a large site at Stockwell in the London Borough of Lambeth where we provide housing and support for people who were recently homeless and are now moving forward positively with their lives.

We are seeking full time Housekeepers/cleaners to join our team and make sure the communal areas of the residential properties are cleaned to a good standard. We offer complete flexibility in how the hours and locations are divided among our team members. Shifts are adaptable, allowing you to work between 08:00 and 18:00 as per your availability. This role is perfect for those seeking a flexible work schedule that fits their lifestyle.

Our housekeeper will visit their specified property/location as per the work schedule providing a good quality of cleaning in the communal areas including removal of rubbish and ensuring health & safety is adhered to. You will need to be able to spot and report maintenance issues for customers. You will also need to deep clean rooms when customers move on so that we can quickly let these to new customers who need them.
