We are looking for part time Cleaners to join our busy Housekeeping team on a permanent basis.

Applicants must be able to meet the physical requirements of the role; be energetic; conscientious; work
to  high  standards;  work  well  in  a  team,  as  well  as  confident  in  working  without  constant  supervision.

as training will be provided.

These are part-time roles working 20 hours per week from 04:30 to 08:30 or 16:00 to 20:00, Monday to
Friday.  Flexibility  to  adjust  normal  working  hours  to  support  the  operational  needs  of  the  school  and
occasional weekend shifts to cover key school events is essential.

About You
The ideal candidate will have extensive experience of cleaning operations and a good understanding of
Health & Safety; be enthusiastic, adaptable and energetic; work well as part of a team but also confident
