Domestic Cleaner

Join our Facilities Team and play a vital role in creating a clean, safe and welcoming environment where students and staff can thrive. We're looking for a reliable, friendly and hardworking individual who takes pride in a job well done and is ready to make a real difference behind the scenes.

In this varied role, no two days are the same. From maintaining high standards of cleanliness across the school to supporting larger deep-cleaning projects during school holidays, you'll help ensure our learning environment remains a place everyone can be proud of. Your attention to detail, positive attitude and commitment to quality will have a lasting impact on the daily experience of our school community.

Previous cleaning experience is welcomed but not essential. What matters most is a strong work ethic, a can-do approach, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in as part of a supportive and dedicated team.

Your Main Responsibilities:

• Carry out daily cleaning tasks across classrooms, corridors, and shared areas
• Clean fixtures, fittings, floors, walls, and internal woodwork in line with cleaning schedules
• Maintain toilets, changing rooms, and other sanitary areas to high standards
• Help with deep-cleaning programmes during school closures or designated breaks
• Collect and dispose of waste safely and efficiently
• Refill and replace supplies such as soap, toilet paper, and hand towels
• Keep cleaning materials organised and stored securely

You’ll be joining a supportive, close-knit team where everyone’s contribution is valued — because we know a clean, safe school helps our young people feel calm, comfortable, and ready to learn.

Who We’re Looking For:

• A positive, dependable team player
• Someone who takes pride in their work and pays attention to the little things
• Able to work independently and as part of a team
• Previous cleaning experience is helpful — but not essential
• A friendly, respectful approach and willingness to learn
• Full UK Driving Licence
