Relief Cleaner (Multiple Sites) – Immediate Start

You'll keep a government office building in Newcastle clean, stocked and fresh before the people arrive. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Newcastle; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
