About the Role
We’re opening a brand-new flagship cinema in Bishop Auckland in March 2026 and we’re looking for reliable, hardworking Housekeepers to join the team from day one.
This role is all about pride in standards. You’ll help keep the cinema spotless — foyers shining, auditoriums guest-ready, toilets clean, and everything looking exactly as a brand-new flagship site should.
If you like working independently, enjoy being active, and get real satisfaction from a job done properly, you’ll love this role.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Cleaning all public areas of the cinema, including toilets, foyer, auditoriums and guest areas
* Hoovering, sweeping and mopping floors
* Dusting and wiping down surfaces
* Emptying bins and disposing of waste correctly
* Replenishing supplies as needed
* Spot-checking standards and taking pride in the details that guests notice
What We’re Looking For
* Reliable, organised and able to work at pace
* Great attention to detail — you don’t miss the corners
* Comfortable working independently and using your initiative
* Positive, can-do attitude
* Cleaning experience is needed
This is a rota-based role and early starts are essential
Shifts may start from 5:30am
We operate 7 days per week, so flexibility to work a mix of days (including weekends/school holidays) is important
