This is not a light cleaning job., it will require physical work, heavy lifting and getting your hands dirty.

Some days you'll be clearing and cleaning a property following a relatively minor flood. On others, you could be walking into a badly fire-damaged property that needs stripping and clearing from top to bottom.

Depending on the job, you'll be:

You need to be comfortable with hard physical work and understand that some of the properties you'll enter will be in a very poor condition.

You'll also need to be reliable. You're part of a team, so people need to know you'll turn up, get stuck in and do your share.

A full UK driving licence is required.

The Hours

The team generally starts at around 7:00am, with the working day typically finishing around 3:00pm, although this can vary depending on the job.

You'll meet the team, travel out together in company vehicles and complete the planned job for that day.

There may occasionally be weekend work depending on operational requirements.

• £25,000 salary
• Permanent employment
• Paid weekly
• Holiday entitlement
• Training and development
• Varied work - no two jobs are the same
