Working 2.5 hours a day, Monday to Friday, you’ll have a regular weekday role with your weekends free. With flexibility around early morning or evening timings, this is a great opportunity to fit work around your other commitments.

About the setting

Approved Premises provide temporary residential accommodation for people on probation, including individuals leaving prison who require enhanced supervision and support as they return to the community. They offer a structured environment that supports rehabilitation and helps residents move towards independent living.

You may come into contact with residents while carrying out your duties, so you’ll need to feel comfortable working in this environment, treating people respectfully and following site security, safety and confidentiality procedures.

• Complete scheduled cleaning tasks, keeping the site clean, hygienic and presentable.
• Clean areas including kitchens, toilets and communal spaces.
• Carry out periodic deep cleaning as directed by your supervisor.
• Replenish essential supplies, including toilet tissue and hand soap.
• Use cleaning products and equipment safely, following training and health and safety procedures.
• Report faults, hazards or maintenance concerns to the appropriate team.
• Build positive working relationships through a friendly, approachable and professional manner.

What you’ll bring

• A reliable approach and availability to work 2.5 hours each day, Monday to Friday.
• Pride in your work and a good eye for detail.
• Good communication skills and a respectful attitude towards others.
• The ability to manage your tasks, follow instructions and adapt when priorities change.
• A willingness to work independently and support colleagues.
• Previous cleaning experience and knowledge of cleaning products would be helpful, but full training will be provided.

What we offer
