Job Description

A cleaning contractor in Somerset West needs dependable cleaners for an university campus. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at an university campus in Somerset West. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Mix cleaning chemicals at the dilution shown on the label, never by guesswork
  • Clean and disinfect toilets, basins and urinals several times a shift
  • Set up and clear boardrooms before and after meetings
  • Empty bins and take waste to the correct recycling or general skip
  • Wipe desks, door handles, lift buttons and light switches
  • Clean the kitchenette, wash cups and wipe down the fridge and microwave
  • Report broken fittings, leaks or empty stock to the site supervisor

What you need

  • You take pride in a job done properly, even when nobody checks
  • Comfortable using cleaning chemicals safely with gloves
  • Honest, because you work around laptops and personal items
  • Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00

Extra points for

  • Chemical handling training from a supplier or contractor
  • Supervisory experience for team leader posts

On offer

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

How to stand out
