You don’t need previous cleaner experience to join us as a Hygienist - just the enthusiasm to learn and the desire to do a great job! If you’re friendly, ready to learn and excited by the chance to progress, we’ll provide all the training and development opportunities you need.
A satisfying role
In the role of a Hygienist at our Harlow Brakes depot you’ll join our friendly night shift team to ensure production areas are always clean and presentable. You'll have good recognition, understanding and implementation of ‘clean as you go” policies that are in place. You will need to have good powers of concentration and observation especially when some tasks are repetitive and require a great amount of attention to detail. It starts with a full induction, but with our backing and training that includes COSHH, there’s no limit to your potential. And, once you’re in, there are plenty of opportunities to move shifts, move roles and move up – if that’s what you want to do.
What you bring to the mix
As someone who genuinely cares about providing a great service for customers and colleagues, you have what it takes to make a difference here:
1. a good eye for detail and accuracy
2. like being part of a team
3. basic language skills and the ability to perform simple calculations
4. comfortable working in a cold environment, full PPE will be provided but you can expect to be mainly working in the freezer
5. the ability to lift up to 25kg, you can expect this role to involve some lifting and there is bending, stretching, and standing depending on the activity therefore you need to be physically fit
You'll ideally have your own transport to get here due to the advertised working hours of the role.
