Commercial Caretaker / Cleaning Operative

We are currently recruiting a Commercial Caretaker/Cleaning Operative to assist in the operation of the Markets Complex and associated casual markets which could be outdoors.

Duties will include day-to-day cleaning, maintenance and caretaking of the Burnley Markets complex and any associated casual markets.  You will also be responsible for the overall security of Burnley Markets undertakings and will assume responsibility for the building in the absence of the Senior Supervisory function.

It is essential you have experience of industrial cleaning and be able to lift and carry reasonably heavy objects.  You must have the ability to work as part of a team and be able to work on your own with minimum supervision.

You must be literate and numerate and have good communication skills. Previous experience of operating fire alarm systems and the security of premises is essential.

Saturday working is required. Overtime cover in the event of holidays is likely and Sunday working may be required up to and including Christmas.

Whilst this position will work within a rota pattern, where holidays or illness occur within the cleaning operation, you will be expected to work flexibly to provide cover.

The package includes generous holidays, training opportunities and an excellent pension scheme.
