* Use cleaning products safely (full training given)
* Help maintain a clean and safe environment in our working areas

* Occasionally clean external areas like entrances or walkways
* Report anything broken or unsafe to your manager
* Work independently, planning your time across the sites

* Friendly and approachable – a positive presence around the team
* Thorough – pays attention to detail and cares about high standards
* Independent – happy to manage their own schedule
* Flexible – able to work across a few nearby sites (you'll need your own transport)
No specialist experience is needed – we'll provide all the training you need, including how to use products safely. You just need to be comfortable working in different areas, including some that may be warmer or cooler than normal.
