About the Role

As a Cleaner, you'll help keep classrooms, offices, corridors and communal areas clean, tidy and safe for learners, staff and visitors. Working with an education provider, you'll take pride in presenting a welcoming environment that supports day-to-day learning.

You'll work to an agreed cleaning schedule, using the equipment and products provided and following health and safety guidance at all times.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Cleaning classrooms, offices, corridors, toilets and communal areas to the required standard.
  • Emptying bins and removing waste to the designated collection points.
  • Using cleaning equipment and materials safely and in line with COSHH guidance.
  • Reporting maintenance issues, hazards or damage to the appropriate person.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A reliable, flexible approach and good timekeeping
  • The ability to work well both on your own and as part of a team
  • An understanding of health and safety in a cleaning environment

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Previous cleaning experience, ideally within a school, college or similar setting
  • A cleaning or health and safety related qualification

If you take pride in a job done well and want to play your part behind the scenes of a busy learning environment, we'd love to hear from you.
