A successful university campus is about so much more than buildings. It’s about the environment, the atmosphere and the people – creating that sense of home that will help students feel safe, secure, and help them thrive. At UPP, we understand just how important this is and that’s why at each of the universities we partner with we have a dedicated onsite team offering a range of facilities management services designed to support the safety of the building and ensure students enjoy a high quality of life throughout their stay.

We currently have a great opportunity for a Heavy-Duty Cleaner to join our team in Wood Lane, West London.

This is a part- time position working 27.5 hours per week from 6am – 12pm Monday to Friday. The salary is circa £11.89 per hour.

Please note that this role will be primarily responsible for undertaking the heavy lifting and removal of student refuse (general, recycling and glass bottles) from the kitchens. Most areas only have stair access, and the role requires high levels of manual handling.

Role responsibilities include:

• Clean designated areas within the Halls of Residence including bedrooms, bathrooms, shower rooms, kitchens and all white goods contained in the kitchens
• Vacuum, spot clean and shampoo carpets, sweep and polish floors and clean stairs
• Wash walls, doors, furniture, radiators, lampshades, and shower curtains, as appropriate
• Empty waste bins and remove rubbish and glass from flats to bin store areas
• Make beds, including stripping and changing sheeting collection of laundered linen from store and bag and pack laundry for collection, during the conference season
• Take down and re-hang curtains, clean internal windows, where applicable
• Move free standing furniture as required
• Wash and clean glasses, cutlery, and cooking utensils, as appropriate
• Act in accordance with all Health & Safety policies and practices
• Daily contact with the residents, Residence Managers and associated UPP staff

We are looking for you to already have experience of heavy-duty / deep cleaning in a similar environment and have great communication and organisation skills, along with an attention to detail and the passion to always do an excellent job.

You will need to have a good conversational standard of the English language and an ability to read and interpret our Health & Safety guidance. You will also be flexible to work (with notice) additional hours when the need arises, especially during the main student arrival and departure weekends.

We truly care about the experience of our residents and invite you to join our friendly team and help make a positive difference to students living away from home in our accommodation.

What we offer:

In return, we are offering a fun and interesting environment to work in with a competitive salary and a great benefits package which includes 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, pension, training, two paid volunteering days each year, cycle to work scheme, store discounts, as well as discounts from a variety of top retailers, restaurants gyms and more.

Our people are at the heart of how we operate.

We welcome all applications and recognise the value of having a diverse and inclusive culture, which reflects the communities we work with and has a positive impact on our people, our student residents, and our university partners, for the benefit of all.

Innovation, Sustainability, Community, Partnership and Respect are our core values. These outline what is important to our business and our people.

We are a team with energy, pace and passion; if that sounds like you, apply today.
