Job Role: Relief Cleaning Operative

Working Hours: Zero hours

Pay: £12.71 per hour

Location: Waverley Market Shopping Centre, 3/48 Waverley Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1BQ

Reporting to: Operations Manager / Contracts Manager

Overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen at Anchor Group Services, for an experienced cleaner to join our established team based at Waverley Market Shopping Centre in Edinburgh as a Cleaning Operative.

The successful candidate will be required to carry out a range of cleaning tasks, safely and professionally, to a high standard. You must be able to demonstrate good attention to detail, have the ability to communicate on all levels and provide flexibility to cover additional shifts, as and when required.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about cleanliness, takes pride in their work, and enjoys contributing to a safe and welcoming environment for customers, visitors and colleagues. Previous cleaning experience within a shopping centre/retail environment is desirable but not necessary.

If you have previous cleaning experience and a positive can-do attitude, we would love to hear from you!

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
