Job description

We operate a bilingual policy. All applicants are invited to apply in Welsh, and any application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application made in English.

Please note that the advertised salary for this position is subject to a pending pay award. The final salary will be adjusted in line with the nationally agreed pay award.

We are looking to recruit a cleaner to undertake various cleaning responsibilities to ensure that the buildings are kept in a clean and hygienic condition.

The Cleaning Service provides an essential service throughout the County of Ceredigion. The role involves undertaking cleaning tasks to provide a high standard of service, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment.

All roles require flexibility regarding location and hours, which may include early mornings and evenings.

Daily tasks include cleaning, washing, sweeping, vacuuming, emptying litter bins, damp wiping, and dusting of designated areas, which may include toilet and shower areas, fixtures, and fittings, using appropriate powered equipment.

We seek an individual who is motivated and enthusiastic about the work, with a flexible attitude and the ability to carry out various duties with a variable schedule.

Please note that a successful applicant without the required Welsh language skills will be supported to reach the standard within two years of appointment.

Note: We reserve the right to extend the application closing date.

We are committed to safeguarding and protecting children and adults at risk. As part of this commitment, certain roles require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This role will require an Enhanced DBS check. Previous convictions will not necessarily disqualify a candidate; each application is assessed case-by-case, considering the nature and relevance of any convictions. Our goal is to create an inclusive and supportive work environment where everyone is treated fairly and with respect. If you have questions or concerns about this process, please contact us for clarification. Your privacy and dignity are our priorities throughout recruitment.
