Key Responsibilities & Duties

As a Cleaner in Manchester M2, you will be responsible for ensuring a spotless, safe, and welcoming environment. Your core duties will include:

• Daily/Weekly Cleaning Routines: Performing comprehensive cleaning tasks including vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and sanitising surfaces across designated areas such as open-plan offices, meeting rooms, kitchens, and washrooms.
• Waste Management & Replenishment: Emptying all bins, replacing liners, and ensuring responsible disposal. Restocking consumables like toilet paper, hand soap, and paper towels.
• Sanitisation & Hygiene Focus: Using appropriate chemicals and equipment to disinfect high-touch points (door handles, light switches, lift buttons, shared equipment) to the highest standard, a critical skill in post-pandemic workplaces.
• Floor Care: Operating industrial floor cleaners, polishers, and carpet cleaning machines as required. Reporting any maintenance issues or hazards, such as wet floors or damaged fixtures, immediately.
• Client Communication & Teamwork: Working effectively as part of a cleaning team or independently, following specific client instructions, and maintaining a professional, discreet presence in occupied buildings.

What We're Looking For (Requirements)

We are seeking reliable, hard-working individuals who take pride in their work. While full training on specific equipment is provided, the ideal candidate will possess:

• Proven Experience: Previous professional cleaning experience in a commercial, office, or similar environment is highly desirable.
• Reliability & Trustworthiness: Punctuality and consistency are paramount. You must be able to pass a standard background check as you will often be working in secure client premises.
• Physical Fitness & Initiative: The role involves bending, lifting (within safe limits), and being on your feet for extended periods. A proactive attitude to spotting and completing tasks is essential.
• Understanding of COSHH: A basic awareness of safe chemical handling is beneficial, though full training will be given.

If you have experience in related fields like a Housekeeping or Maintenance Operative role, your skills are highly transferable to this Cleaner position in Manchester M2.
