A successful university campus is about so much more than buildings. It’s about the environment, the atmosphere and the people – creating that sense of home that will help students feel safe, secure, and help them thrive.
We currently have a great opportunity for a Heavy-Duty Cleaner to join our team.
This is a permanent, part-time position working 25 hours per week from 8am to 1pm Monday to Friday. The salary is £17,683 per annum.
Please note that this role will be primarily responsible for undertaking the heavy lifting and removal of student refuse (general, recycling and glass bottles) from the kitchens. Most areas only have stair access, and the role requires high levels of manual handling.
Role responsibilities include:
- Clean designated areas within the Halls of Residence including bedrooms, bathrooms, shower rooms, kitchens and all white goods contained in the kitchens
- Vacuum, spot clean and shampoo carpets, sweep and polish floors and clean stairs
- Wash walls, doors, furniture, radiators, lampshades, and shower curtains, as appropriate
- Empty waste bins and remove rubbish and glass from flats to bin store areas
- Make beds, including stripping and changing sheeting collection of laundered linen from store and bag and pack laundry for collection, during the conference season
- Take down and re-hang curtains, clean internal windows, where applicable
- Move free standing furniture as required
- Wash and clean glasses, cutlery, and cooking utensils, as appropriate
- Act in accordance with all Health & Safety policies and practices
- Daily contact with the residents, Residence Managers and associated UPP staff
