Why Join ClinicCleaners?
ClinicCleaners was created with a simple purpose: to provide local healthcare establishments with a reliable cleaning service while creating flexible employment opportunities for students.
We understand how difficult it can be to balance university, clinical placements, assignments and living costs. Shifts are therefore designed, wherever possible, to work around academic commitments rather than interfere with them.
Depending on available clinic contracts, some weeks may have more hours available than others, making the role particularly suitable for students looking for flexible work.
You will also gain experience working professionally within healthcare environments and receive relevant training before being placed in clinics where required.
Supporting students. Supporting healthcare. Supporting communities.
If you are dependable, hardworking and care about maintaining clean and welcoming healthcare environments, we would love to hear from you.
