We are looking to recruit a permanent Cleaner to join our staff team in order to help us to continue to maintain a high quality standard of cleaning at LifeBridge ASEND, which is our post-19 provision.
LifeBridge ASEND is part of the Rumworth School family and it is located on a separate site which is close to Bolton town centre. LifeBridge ASEND is a registered charity, and a not for profit organisation, and it operates as a specialist post-19 institution, providing education, enrichment and vocational opportunities to young adults between the ages of 19 and 25 with special educational needs and disabilities.
Our priority is to support young adults with SEND to prepare themselves for adulthood, work towards becoming more independent and ultimately gain employment.
You will join our dedicated staff team in order to provide a high standard of cleaning throughout the college day across our LifeBridge site.
Our learners all have an EHCP as they have a range of SEND which may include: Moderate and Severe Learning Difficulties, Complex Needs, Autistic Spectrum Conditions, Hearing and Visual Impairment, Physical Disability and Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs. During their time with us, they access appropriate external accreditation, together with other activities and opportunities that support them on their “Pathway to Employment” and their “Pathway to Independence”.
