Cleaning Operative

About the role

As a Cleaning Operative at OCS, you will play a crucial role in providing safe, clean environments in which our customers can thrive in their workspaces.

Responsibilities

• Tidying up work areas, cleaning floors and communal areas.
• Carrying out hands-on physical tasks that can require standing for periods of time, for example vacuuming carpeted areas if there are any onsite scheduled for cleaning, sweeping, mopping (if required), emptying bins and other tasks such as potentially washroom cleaning.
• If the site cleaning is during the day or night in open, public spaces, you may come into regular contact with customers, so you must be able to assist them if needed, for example with taking queries linked to cleaning or any incidents/issues reported.
• Completing all relevant Health & Safety records and attending training courses when needed.

Requirements

• You must have Right to Work in the UK.
• A smart phone is required to use our Timegate Time and Attendance system to pin in and out onsite when you are scheduled to work. There may also be tasks allocated to you which will require you to use the Timegate app, i.e. to record cleaning entries and any other such duties as required.
• A background in cleaning would be advantageous, but full training is required.
• Attention to detail and thoroughness in completing tasks.

Schedule

Working Pattern: Monday - Sunday, flexible shift pattern.
