A stable leadership role in a highly regulated nuclear environment

Working at NRS Harwell, you’ll play an important part in maintaining safe, clean and compliant nuclear facilities. The environment is controlled, professional and highly regulated, making attention to detail, safety and standards essential.
You’ll be responsible for the day‑to‑day delivery of cleaning services on site while supporting, motivating and supervising the cleaning team.
Key Responsibilities
- Carrying out hands‑on cleaning duties alongside the team
- Leading and supervising on‑site cleaning staff
- Ensuring cleaning standards meet strict nuclear, safety and client requirements
- Managing rotas, holidays and sickness to maintain full cover
- Completing routine cleaning, safety and quality inspections
- Monitoring KPIs, audits and service delivery standards
- Acting as point of contact with the client and Facilities Manager
- Managing cleaning equipment, materials and consumables
- Ensuring Health & Safety procedures are followed at all times
- Supporting training, inductions, 1‑to‑1s and team briefings
