You will also be:
- emptying waste bins and ensuring waste is disposed of properly

- vacuuming large floor spaces
- dusting skirting boards, door frames and office furniture
One post involves maintaining the cleanliness of the public areas and operational areas of the Pavements Shopping Centre (such as the management suite and staff rest rooms).

This post includes weekend working and bank holidays. Start and finish times vary dependant on location as directed by the service.
