Ready to take the next step in your cleaning career?
If you have experience supervising cleaners, leading a team or helping colleagues deliver great standards, we’d love to hear from you.
Spotless Cleaning is an established, family-run commercial cleaning business with over 18 years’ experience and more than 200 cleaning colleagues. We’re looking for a practical, approachable Area Cleaning Manager who enjoys supporting people and takes pride in a job well done.
You’ll join a supportive management team, with BICSc training provided to help you develop your skills.
You’ll visit sites across Burton, Derby, Nottingham, Lichfield, Tamworth and surrounding areas, helping our cleaning teams deliver the standards our customers expect.
You’ll receive a planned schedule of site visits for each shift, giving you clear direction while allowing you to work independently.
Your responsibilities will include:
You’ll report to Michael, our Area Operations Manager, with weekly catch-ups and support available when you need advice.
You’ll receive full training in our systems and absence-cover process. Our six Team Leaders provide cleaning cover, so covering full cleaning shifts yourself will be rare. We do need someone who is happy to roll up their sleeves occasionally and support the team.
Your regular hours will be Monday–Friday, 2pm–10pm, including a 30-minute unpaid break, making a 37.5-hour paid working week.
A company van and fuel card are provided for travel between sites. You’ll collect and return the van each day at a designated point in Burton-on-Trent, DE14 3AU.
Towards the end of your shift, you’ll return to our office at DE14 1LX to check staff clock-outs and complete follow-up work. You’ll leave the office at 9:45pm, with the final 15 minutes allocated to returning the van. The vehicle return is included within your working hours, so you’ll be finished by 10pm and ready to begin your commute home.
You’ll provide telephone support one weekend in every four and share bank-holiday telephone cover equally with Michael.
This involves taking calls and helping coordinate arrangements. You won’t be expected to travel to sites or carry out cleaning during these on-call periods.
Telephone cover is included in the salary, with an allowance of 30 minutes of calls and associated work per on-call day. If the work exceeds this allowance, you’ll receive time off in lieu for the additional time worked.
You don’t need to have held an Area Manager title before. If you’re an experienced cleaning supervisor or team leader ready for your next step, we’d welcome your application.
Send us your CV and a few lines about your cleaning and team leadership experience. We’d love to hear what you could bring to Spotless Cleaning.
