Role overview

In this independent cleaning role, you will be responsible for maintaining designated areas to a high standard and delivering an effective cleaning service across your assigned zone. You will need to follow all health and safety requirements, as well as the organisation’s policies and procedures, while handling cleaning chemicals and substances accurately, safely, and in the correct dilution ratios.

At the end of each shift, you will ensure all cleaning equipment is properly cleaned, secured, and stored for the next team member. You will also be expected to identify and report any issues or incidents, communicate them to the relevant colleagues, and take appropriate action where needed.

What we are looking for
