Why Join Us?

At Royal Mail Property & Facilities Solutions, we’re proud to maintain one of the largest property portfolios in Europe. Our team of 2,500 dedicated professionals keeps over 2,000 sites running smoothly—and we’d love for you to be part of it.

As a cleaner, you’ll play a vital role in keeping our spaces clean, safe, and welcoming. Whether you’re working solo or as part of a team, your contribution will help us deliver the high standards our customers expect.

About The Role

Your responsibilities will include a range of cleaning tasks, including:

• Mopping, vacuuming, and dusting
• Cleaning toilets, floors and offices
• Emptying bins and sanitising surfaces
• Litter picking within yard and car park areas
  
  

This is a hands-on role that involves manual handling, but don’t worry—we’ll provide all the training and support you need to succeed.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Friendly, reliable, and self-motivated
• Able to work independently and manage their own time
• Comfortable communicating with customers and managers
• Committed to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety
  
  

What We Offer

Previous cleaning experience is a bonus, but not essential.

• 22.5 days annual leave, rising to 25 after 5 years’ service (plus bank holidays)
• Uniform and PPE provided
• Defined Contribution pension scheme
• Employee referral scheme
• Full training and induction provided – no experience needed!
  
  

Ready to Apply?

If you're looking for a flexible role where you can make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you! Before you apply, make sure that you can get to the location for the hours stated, and the total weekly hours are in line with your expectations. Please note there is on-site parking available at this location. If you are relying on public transport, check to make sure the location has good public transport links and that the cost and time of the commute are not excessive.

What happens next?

If your application is successful, we’ll invite you to take part in a short virtual assessment. It’s a great opportunity for you to showcase your skills and personality by answering seven questions relating to your cleaning background and five supplemental Yes or No questions — either on video or audio-only, whichever you’re most comfortable with.

You can complete it using a laptop, smartphone, or tablet — whatever works best for you — and you can do it at a time that suits you.

Don’t have the means to complete this or would prefer to speak with one of our team? No problem, we can also off a short telephone assessment as an alternative.

Please note: This vacancy may close early once we receive enough applications—so don’t wait!
