We have an established track record for building quality homes and investing in our local communities. We are excited to recruit for this role at Golding and appoint a Cleaner.

You will be part of our Homes team, who provide a high-quality cleaning service to residents of Golding Homes.

What you'll be doing

As one of our Homes Team Cleaner/Caretakers your role will be to clean and maintain all internal and external areas identified by Golding Homes. All areas are to be cleaned to the required standard and frequency, using approved materials, equipment and methods as determined by the Homes Team Supervisors and Manager.

As part of a larger team you will be allocated a co-worker along with a fully equipped vehicle to carry out your duties throughout Kent. You will be responsible for reporting fly tipping, repairs required as well as highlighting health and safety concerns.

Previous cleaning experience is NOT essential; however multi-site experience and working to set targets or standards would be an advantage. You must have a current valid manual driving licence so that you can drive the company’s vehicles.

Due to the nature of this role there will be a requirement to obtain a basic disclosure certificate and to attend a driver medical.

We welcome and embrace diverse talent. We are committed to our colleagues working flexibly and building a healthy, vibrant and inclusive organisation that treats people with respect and creates opportunities for all.

What will you get in return?

• 28 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays)
• Company Pension contribution and life assurance
• Flexible Benefits including health cash plan, additional holiday purchase, cycle to work scheme, onsite gym, retail discounts and more.
• An annual Wellbeing Fund
