Job Description

People notice a clean university campus; in East London, you would be the reason it shines. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Empty bins and take waste to the correct recycling or general skip
  • Refill toilet paper, hand towel and soap dispensers
  • Set up and clear boardrooms before and after meetings
  • Wipe desks, door handles, lift buttons and light switches
  • Run a scrubber-dryer machine on large tiled areas
  • Clean the kitchenette, wash cups and wipe down the fridge and microwave
  • Report broken fittings, leaks or empty stock to the site supervisor

You'll need

  • Grade 10 or higher
  • Able to stand, bend and walk for a full shift
  • Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00
  • You take pride in a job done properly, even when nobody checks
  • Clean criminal record for most corporate sites

Helpful, not essential

  • Tea service or kitchen experience
  • Previous contract cleaning experience with a reference
  • Chemical handling training from a supplier or contractor

On offer

  • Uniform and cleaning gloves provided
  • Permanent contract once the site contract is secured
  • UIF and paid leave under the cleaning sector rules

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV with references from previous cleaning sites plus police clearance certificate if the site requires it.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around East London.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Mention any machines you can use, like a scrubber or polisher. Machine cleaners are harder to find and often get picked first.
  • List each site you have cleaned (office, mall, school) and how long you stayed. Contractors want people who stick with a site.
