Cleaner (part-time) at Clean4Shaw-Kettering (2017-01 – 2017-09)

I cleaned part time at a local school for children with disabilities. My duties included mopping the main hall and gym, cleaning toilets and changing rooms, and cleaning classrooms, kitchen and reception area. All work had to be completed within a small time frame with not much room for error.

Along with working alone within the job, I also worked alongside my other team members to complete a large part at the end. Routine and structure were key to completing these tasks within the time given, whilst also giving care and respect to adults and children around the school.
