Driving Licence Required

Due to the mobile nature of this role, you’ll need a full UK driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points. A work van will be provided for travel between sites.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Friendly, reliable, and self-motivated
• Able to manage their own time and work independently
• Comfortable using cleaning equipment (training provided)
• A good communicator who follows Health & Safety guidelines

Previous cleaning experience is helpful, but not essential.

What’s in it for You?

• 22.5 days annual leave, rising to 25 after 5 years’ service – plus bank holidays
• Company van provided – with fuel expenses covered between sites
• Free uniform and PPE
• Defined Contribution pension scheme
• Employee referral scheme
• Free parking at work locations
• Full training and induction – no experience needed!

Ready to Apply?

If you're looking for a flexible role where you can make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you! Before you apply, make sure that you can get to the location for the hours stated, and the total weekly hours are in line with your expectations. Please note there is limited on-site parking available at this location. If you are relying on public transport, check to make sure the location has good public transport links and that the cost and time of the commute are not excessive.

What happens next?

If your application is successful, we’ll invite you to take part in a short virtual assessment. It’s a great opportunity for you to showcase your skills and personality by answering seven questions relating to your cleaning background and five supplemental Yes or No questions — either on video or audio-only, whichever you’re most comfortable with.

You can complete it using a laptop, smartphone, or tablet — whatever works best for you — and you can do it at a time that suits you.

Don’t have the means to complete this or would prefer to speak with one of our team? No problem, we can also off a short telephone assessment as an alternative.

Please note: This vacancy may close early once we receive enough applications—so don’t wait!
