Job description

A successful university campus is about so much more than buildings. It’s about the environment, the atmosphere and the people – creating that sense of home that will help students feel safe, secure, and help them thrive.

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Housekeep to join our Swansea team.

This is a zero hour contract with an hourly rate of £12.60.

This role will be responsible for cleaning the designated areas for our student accommodation including bedrooms, bathrooms, shower rooms, kitchens and all white goods contained in the kitchens.

This will include:

• Vacuum, spot clean and shampoo carpets, sweep and polish floors and clean stairs
• Wash walls, doors, furniture, radiators, lampshades as appropriate
• Empty waste bins and remove rubbish from flats to bin store areas
• During the summer season only: Make beds, including stripping and changing sheeting collection of laundered linen from store, bag and pack laundry for collection
• Clean internal and external windows, where applicable
• Clean and wash glasses, cutlery and cooking utensils, as appropriate
• Daily liaison with the residents, Residence Managers and associated UPP staff
• Act in accordance with all Health & Safety policies and practices at all times

We are looking for you to already have experience of cleaning in a similar environment and have great communication and organisation skills, along with an attention to detail and the passion to do an excellent job.

You will need to have a good conversational standard of the English language and an ability to read and interpret our Health & Safety guidance. You will also be prepared to work (with notice) at other sites if required and additional hours when the need arises, especially during the main student arrival and departure weekends.

We truly care about the experience of our residents and invite you to join our friendly team and help make a positive difference to students living away from home in our accommodation.

In return, we are offering a fun and interesting environment to work in with a competitive salary and a great benefits package which includes store discounts, as well as discounts from a variety of top retailers, restaurants gyms and more.
