St Dominic’s Priory School are looking to welcome a school cleaner into our rapidly expanding school. This role is currently based in the school office area with occasional duties in the main school buildings to cover absence.

The School Cleaner plays a vital role in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for staff, students, and visitors. This position is responsible for performing routine cleaning tasks within school office areas, including dusting, vacuuming, sanitising surfaces, emptying waste bins, and ensuring toilets and common areas are kept tidy and hygienic.

Attention to detail is essential in this role, as small oversights—such as missed surfaces, improperly sanitised areas, or overlooked clutter—can impact health, safety, and the professional appearance of the school. The cleaner must be thorough, reliable, and proactive in identifying areas that require extra care, ensuring all cleaning standards are consistently met or exceeded. By maintaining a well-organised and spotless office environment, the School Office Cleaner supports the smooth operation of the school and contributes to a positive and productive atmosphere for everyone.
