Start your day making a difference

Take pride in creating clean, welcoming spaces? Join Sodexo as a Cleaning Operative at Victoria House, where your care and attention will make a positive difference to residents, colleagues and visitors.

With weekday morning shifts and your weekends free, this role offers a regular working pattern while leaving the rest of your day available for other commitments.

About the setting

Approved Premises provide temporary residential accommodation for people on probation, including individuals leaving prison who require enhanced supervision and support as they return to the community. They offer a structured environment that supports rehabilitation and helps residents move towards independent living.

You may come into contact with residents while carrying out your duties, so you’ll need to feel comfortable working in this environment, treating people respectfully and following site security, safety and confidentiality procedures.

What you’ll do

• Complete scheduled cleaning tasks, keeping the site clean, hygienic and presentable.
• Clean kitchens, toilets, communal spaces and other designated areas.
• Carry out periodic deep cleaning as directed by your supervisor.
• Replenish essential supplies, including toilet tissue and hand soap.
• Use cleaning products and equipment safely, following training and health and safety procedures.
• Work closely with the site team, reporting faults, hazards or maintenance concerns promptly.
• Build positive working relationships through a friendly, approachable and professional manner.

What you’ll bring

• A reliable approach and availability to work early mornings, Monday to Friday.
• Pride in your work and a good eye for detail.
• Good communication skills and a respectful attitude towards others.
• The ability to manage your tasks, follow instructions and adapt when priorities change.
• A willingness to work independently and support colleagues.
• Previous cleaning experience would be helpful, but full training will be provided, including the safe use of cleaning products and equipment.

What we offer
