We are particularly interested in an established team of two able to work independently and travel between locations. For the right candidates, the role is expected to grow into regular full-time employment with training and wider property-support responsibilities.
Working Pattern and Locations:
- A core three-hour shift each day, Monday to Friday, in Egerton, Bolton, BL7.
- Preferred core hours are 6.00am-9.00am or 7.00am-10.00am. Evening alternatives of 4.00pm-7.00pm or 5.00pm-8.00pm may also be considered.

- Regular communal-area cleaning and ad-hoc residential end-of-tenancy cleans will be required at DBR-owned apartment blocks in Stoke-on-Trent and Chorley, covering approximately 59 apartments.
- From Q1 2027, the portfolio will include an additional DBR-owned 31-apartment development in Wigan.
- A full UK driving licence and reliable access to a suitable vehicle are required, as travel between DBR properties forms part of the role.
Key Duties and Responsibilities:
- Clean commercial offices, residential communal areas, entrances, corridors, stairwells, kitchens, washrooms, site welfare areas and other shared spaces to a consistently high standard.
- Complete thorough residential end-of-tenancy cleans of apartments, including kitchens, appliances, bathrooms, floors and internal surfaces before re-letting.
- Undertake external communal-area cleaning and general upkeep where required.
- Identify and promptly report damage, maintenance concerns, hazards, access issues or low stock levels.
- Use cleaning products and equipment safely and complete agreed checklists, cleaning records and photographic updates.
- Handle keys, access information and tenant-related matters securely, professionally and confidentially.
Skills, Experience and Qualifications:
- Previous professional cleaning experience is preferred, particularly in commercial premises, residential blocks, communal areas or end-of-tenancy cleaning.
- Able to work independently and unsupervised, take ownership of assigned areas and maintain consistently high standards.
- Full UK driving licence and reliable access to a suitable vehicle.
- Reliable, punctual and flexible, with good time-management and communication skills.
- Professional and respectful when working around tenants, visitors and colleagues.
- Knowledge of safe cleaning practices and COSHH requirements is advantageous.
- Applications from experienced individual cleaners will be considered; however, established teams of two are particularly encouraged.
Pay and Working Arrangements:
- Hourly Rate: £15.00-£18.00 per hour, depending on experience and suitability.
- Authorised business travel between DBR properties during the working day will be reimbursed in accordance with agreed mileage arrangements. Authorised travelling time between work locations will be treated as working time where applicable. Normal commuting is excluded unless expressly agreed otherwise.
- Approximately 30 hours per week are expected initially, with the workload anticipated to increase to approximately 50-60 hours per week across the cleaning team as the portfolio grows.
- The role will initially be offered on a flexible/ad-hoc employment basis, with the intention to progress towards regular full-time employment after approximately three months, subject to satisfactory performance and business requirements.
Training and Career Progression:
For suitable candidates, DBR will provide training with the opportunity to progress into residential property inspections and wider property-support duties, including post-tenancy and cyclical inspections, photographic reporting of maintenance issues and appropriate liaison with tenants and maintenance teams.
