Previous experience of cleaning in a residential school, commercial or school environment is helpful, although not essential. The role requires working while standing, covering large distances and flights of stairs on foot. Work tasks require reasonable physical effort in bending, twisting, and in pulling and pushing cleaning equipment.
Benefits include 6.2 weeks holiday (inc. Bank Holidays) per annum (some to be taken at Christmas closedown), a stakeholder pension scheme for eligible staff, free on-site parking, discounted membership of the on-site Sports Centre, free lunch when pupils are on site, Employee Assistance Programme and uniform. Although there is a local train station, your own transport would be beneficial.
