We are seeking a reliable and dedicated Cleaner to join our team within the Eastern Education Group. You will be responsible for maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene across the school to ensure a pleasant and safe environment for students, staff, and visitors.

If you are committed to maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming school environment and are adaptable to changing schedules and tasks, we’d love to hear from you. This is a rewarding opportunity to play a key role in supporting the day-to-day running of the school.
