This is a hands-on role with a real sense of ownership - you'll supervise a small team of part-time cleaners, carry out general cleaning, and take care of light maintenance and caretaking duties to ensure everything runs smoothly day to day.
You'll also be responsible for routine checks around the building, including fire alarm testing, heating and lighting systems, and reporting any issues that need attention.

  • Ensure all work is completed safely and in line with Health & Safety and COSHH regulations.
  • Lock up the facility at the end of the day.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:
  • Proven experience in cleaning, caretaking or facilities support, ideally in a supervisory role.
  • Ability to carry out routine maintenance and handle cleaning machinery.
  • Knowledge of cleaning products, chemicals, and COSHH requirements.

  • A flexible and proactive attitude - willing to help cover holidays or absences when needed.
  • Integrity, attention to detail, and pride in delivering a quality service.
  • A "make it happen" approach with a positive, energetic attitude.
In return we are offering:
  • A highly competitive salary up to 32,000
  • Working hours - Monday - Thursday 10am - 7pm and Friday 12pm - 4pm.
  • 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays and Christmas closure (which increases after 5 years).
  • Private medical insurance (BUPA)
  • Enhanced pension contribution.
  • Company bonus scheme.
  • Life assurance.
  • Cycle to work scheme.
  • Employee Assistance Programme.
