Make a fresh start in a company that cares

We're looking for a reliable and proactive Cleaning Operative to join our team at a prestigious corporate client site in Stevenage.

You'll play an important role in maintaining a clean, safe and welcoming environment, carrying out a variety of cleaning duties across the site. From deep cleaning floors and communal areas to operating specialist cleaning equipment, you'll help ensure our high standards are consistently maintained.

At Sodexo, we value you for being you. You'll belong in a team where your hard work and attention to detail make a real difference. Valued. Recognised. Rewarded.

What you'll do

  • Carry out deep cleaning across floors, corridors, washrooms, lifts, stairwells, changing rooms and other designated areas.
  • Clean surfaces, doors, walls, skirting boards and high-touch areas to maintain excellent standards.
  • Operate specialist cleaning equipment, including outdoor floor-cleaning machinery and indoor ride-on machines, following appropriate training.
  • Undertake additional duties such as window cleaning and working at height, where required and subject to appropriate training and authorisation.
  • Follow cleaning schedules, health and safety procedures and client requirements.
  • Work efficiently, manage daily tasks and minimise disruption to building occupants.
  • Report hazards, maintenance issues and any concerns to the relevant team.

What you'll bring

  • Good attention to detail and pride in delivering high standards of cleanliness.
  • A reliable, proactive approach and willingness to learn.
  • A positive attitude towards health and safety.
  • The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Good communication skills and a professional approach when working on a high-profile client site.
  • The ability to undertake the physical duties required for this mobile, site-based role.

Previous cleaning experience would be beneficial, but a positive attitude and willingness to learn are just as important.
