The role involves the supervision of all cleaning staff who are responsible for commercial-standard cleaning of office buildings, vacant homes, and communal areas in council flats. The successful candidate will be focusing on:

This is a working team leader role that involves carrying out cleaning activities. Our ideal candidate will have experience of team leading/staff management

A background in commercial cleaning or comparable sectors would be very beneficial.

You will be required to work some weekend and bank holidays on a rota basis, so flexibility is an essential requirement of this role.
