We are seeking to appoint a suitably experienced and skilled Cleaner to join our dedicated Estates Team. This post will be based at our Infant and Junior School in Aldford, but the successful candidate may be required to work at our Senior School in Saighton to cover for absence within the Estates Team.
Both our Saighton and Alford sites are beautifully maintained and enjoyed by pupils, colleagues, and visitors alike.
Job Description:
Line managed by our Head Caretaker, the working pattern for this role is:
31.25 hours per week – 11.30am until 6.15pm (including a half-hour unpaid lunch break).
We would welcome applications from interested parties wishing to work part time hours, as we are happy to consider a job share.
Our Cleaners are required to work during term time, plus an additional six weeks during school holiday periods, over a 12-month period.
Our Cleaners, along with the entire Estates Team, perform an essential role in ensuring that the College buildings are cleaned and maintained in optimum condition for use by our students and visitors.
Safeguarding & Child Protection:
Abbey Gate College is committed, as a priority, to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants will, therefore, be subject to stringent vetting and induction processes, including an enhanced DBS disclosure. References for shortlisted candidates will be requested prior to interview; please inform your referees.
Whilst criminal convictions are not necessarily a bar to appointment, this safety consideration will be central to all decisions regarding the employment of staff, approval of volunteers, and standards of external contractors.

We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and to treating all staff with dignity and respect. Therefore, applications from individuals are encouraged, regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, and marriage and civil partnerships.
