Working for #TeamNP
About the role
Our purpose at Team NP is simple: to keep people safe and to fight crime. But it takes more than officers alone to do the job – and that’s where our 2,000-strong team of police staff and 200 volunteers come in. Northumbria Police seeks to recruit a Cleaner to join the Business Services Department to help keep our stations clean, safe, and functional. You will be part of a large team that covers maintenance, health and safety, and support for Front Line Policing.
Unlike a typical cleaning role, you’ll be working behind the scenes in our operational police station. You’ll take pride in your work and be part of a team that achieves great results. It’s a busy role with a strong sense of achievement at the end of each shift.
What you’ll do
* Using specialist equipment and chemicals to clean washrooms and kitchens
* Vacuuming and mopping floors
* Use of floor machines such as floor scrubbers/dryers
* Emptying bins and other general cleaning duties
* Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of health and safety legislation and complying with cleaning safety standards
* This is a physical role which also requires working at height
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to have been a cleaner before – you just need a willingness to learn, the ability to work alone and as part of a team. It’s essential that you have a reasonable level of fitness and that you are punctual and reliable.
What we offer
* 26 days’ leave (increasing to 30 days for 5 years+ service) plus 8 bank holidays (pro rata)
* NHS Fleet Solutions Car Lease Scheme
* Enhanced maternity, shared parental and adoption leave
* Fantastic market-leading public sector pension scheme with up to 16% employer contribution
* Corporate travel schemes – local rail, bus services and metro discounts
* Access to private healthcare and eye test vouchers
* Discounts on shopping and eating out thanks to the Blue Light Card and Blue Light Tickets
* Extended paid sick leave and on-site mental health support and employee advice service
* Access to gyms in some stations
* Sports & Social Club – exclusive discounts on days out and travel
* Cycle to work scheme
* Opportunity to volunteer in local community
* Provided with a police staff uniform
