About the role

Are you a reliable, hardworking individual with a keen eye for cleanliness and a commitment to excellent customer service? If so, we would love to hear from you.

We are looking for a Mobile Cleaner to join the Crawley Homes Cleaning and Clearance Team, helping to maintain clean, safe, and welcoming communal areas across our housing stock. Working as part of a dedicated team, you will play a vital role in ensuring residents and visitors enjoy a high standard of environment within our communities.

As a Cleaner, you will undertake a variety of cleaning and clearance duties across Crawley Homes properties, including:

cleaning communal areas within blocks of flats, including corridors, stairwells, entrance halls and lifts
sweeping and litter-picking external areas adjacent to entrances
cleaning bin stores as required
assisting with cleaning duties in sheltered housing schemes, hostels and void properties when needed
reporting defects and maintenance concerns to the Cleaning and Clearance Manager
responding appropriately to complaints and carrying out remedial actions where necessary
ensuring all work is completed in line with health and safety requirements, equality commitments and environmental policies

You should have previous experience of cleaning commercial or residential premises together with a working knowledge of Health and Safety regulations and the ability to use mechanised cleaning equipment.

Additional information

The successful candidate will:

be required to wear a uniform
be willing to adjust working hours in emergency situations when required
work as part of a supportive and committed team delivering vital services to residents across the borough

Hours of work will be 37 per week, Monday to Friday.

A positive attitude towards customer service is essential and a flexible approach is also necessary.

A full and current UK driving licence will be a requirement of the role.

A Baseline Personnel Security Standard check is required as part of this role, and that will also entail the successful applicant undertaking a Basic Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) check.

Employee benefits

We offer a generous employee benefits package, with a range of discounts, benefits and wellbeing incentives to suit everyone.

At Crawley Borough Council, you will have access to a structured programme of learning from day one, designed to help you succeed in your role and grow your career.

Local government reorganisation

Local government reorganisation (LGR) is planned across Sussex, with new unitary authorities expected by 2028. While this represents a significant change for councils, most roles will continue to focus on delivering vital services to our residents and business communities. As the future structure evolves, our name may change, but our commitment to providing excellent services and supporting our employees will not. Joining us now means being part of a dedicated team during an important and evolving time for local government.

Our way of working

Our shared values and behaviours reflect the special nature of our council. We encourage all colleagues to put them into practice, whatever job they do. Take a look to see if we are the perfect match.

Safer recruitment

Crawley Borough Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We want to be an inclusive and diverse employer of first choice reflecting the community we serve and particularly welcome applications from all under represented groups.
