Job Specification – Domestic Cleaner
The Fairy Housekeeper
Thank you for your interest in joining our team. Please find the full role specification below — it's detailed, but designed to give you a clear understanding of what the position involves.
⸻
Role Overview
Before reading further, please note that access to a car is essential for this role, as you will need to travel to clients' homes.
We are currently recruiting both part-time and full-time team members, with flexibility depending on your availability.
⸻
Hours & Schedule
This role can be tailored around school hours if needed, or you may choose to work longer days — the choice is yours. You'll provide your regular availability, and I'll build your weekly itinerary accordingly. Clients are assigned on a regular basis (weekly or fortnightly), allowing you to build strong and consistent relationships rather than moving between random households.
Please note: all clients are exclusively managed through The Fairy Housekeeper. Any attempt to approach clients for private work will result in immediate termination without pay.
⸻
Employment & Pay
* Self-employed position with your own set, regular clients.
* If a client cancels with less than 48 hours' notice, you will still receive full payment.
* Opportunities to take on additional cleans if desired.
* £13 per hour, paid weekly every Friday via PayPal or bank transfer.
⸻
Holidays
We ask for as much notice as possible (ideally 2 months) when booking leave, to ensure cover can be arranged for your clients.
⸻
Working Hours
Most team members work between 9:00–9:30am and 3:00pm, though hours can be tailored to suit your circumstances.
⸻
Standards & Reliability
Our reputation has been built and maintained over the past 7 years through consistently high standards. To be successful in this role, you must:
* Genuinely enjoy cleaning and take pride in your work.
* Demonstrate initiative and attention to detail.
* Be 100% reliable — reliability is essential, as last-minute cancellations place strain on the team and damage our reputation.
⸻
Additional Information
* No weekend work required (unless you request it).
* All bank holidays off. Where clients fall on a Monday, alternative arrangements will be made.
* Uniform (t-shirt and/or sweatshirt) provided — to be worn with smart, presentable bottoms.
* Optional shadowing session with an experienced team member on start (unpaid, as the trainer is compensated and uniform/DBS costs are covered).
* Clients provide all cleaning products, hoover, and mop.
⸻
Candidate Requirements
We are looking for individuals who are:
* Skilled and thorough cleaners (experience preferred but not essential).
* Detail-oriented and committed to high standards.
* Trustworthy, reliable, and professional.
* Friendly, approachable, and well-presented.
* Flexible and willing to go the extra mile.
* Car owners, able to travel within our operating areas.
⸻
Areas Covered
Cheadle, Bramhall and Stockport
Optional areas to cover include Hale, Altrincham, Timperley, Bowdon, Lymm, Knutsford, Wilmslow, and surrounding areas. Routes are always scheduled to minimise unnecessary travel.

Warm regards,
Sheri Vernon
