• Use equipment and cleaning products safely, adhering to COSHH (Control of Substances Harmful to Health) regulations
• Follow infection prevention and control rules
• Complete paperwork such as quality checks and other required documentation
• Assist with cleaning audits, surveys, and inspections
• Participate in required training and stay updated with company communications
