Cleaner (Afternoon / Evening)

The Cleaning Team provides the vital cleaning support to enable the College to carry out its core function of teaching and learning. It is an essential role within the College, particularly in these times.

The Team is currently made up of 6 staff; some who work term-time only and some work all year round. Each person has a designated area they are responsible for but it is important that all members of the team work collaboratively and they do work in other areas around the site when cover is needed.

The main cleaning of the College is carried out during the early morning (before 9am) before students and staff arrive, and late afternoon/early evening (after 4pm), between the departure of the daytime students and before the evening activities commence.

The College is busy both during term time and during holidays. As well as the 2800 daytime students (aged 16-19) the College has around 300 staff. It also runs an Adult Education programme which is mostly held online but we do have some classes on site in the evenings. Various other meetings, events and lettings take place, primarily during the evening, but sometimes during the day in holiday periods.
