UPDATE: Thankyou to everyone who has responded via email, we have a large number of applications to sort through hopefully over the weekend

We are currently seeking a casual cleaner, mostly Mon-Fri with the odd weekend. Suits school hours but need to be available in school holidays, no experience necessary as we prefer to train to our qualmark standards. This is casual as called work, if you are keen to give it a try email your CV to [email protected]
