We are looking for a reliable and hardworking Cleaning Assistant to join our team and help us maintain a clean, safe and welcoming environment for our pupils, colleagues and visitors.

Working under the direction of the Cleaning Supervisor, you will work both as part of the wider cleaning team and independently to ensure our school buildings are maintained to a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Cleaning surfaces, fixtures, fittings, walls, partitions and internal woodwork as required.
