About Us
New Homes Flooring South Ltd is a multi award-winning flooring contractor, trusted by many of the UK's leading housebuilders and developers for 30 years.
Our reputation has been built on quality, reliability and exceptional customer service. We believe that attention to detail is what sets great businesses apart, and we're looking for someone who shares those values.
About the Role
We are looking for a reliable, trustworthy and conscientious Property Care Operative to join our growing team.
This is a varied role where no two weeks will be the same. Whilst your primary responsibility will be maintaining our office and serviced accommodation properties to an exceptional standard, the role has genuine opportunity to develop into a wider property presentation and maintenance position as the business continues to grow.
Initially, your responsibilities will include:
Office
- Cleaning offices to an exceptional standard.
- Cleaning kitchen and staff welfare areas.
- Cleaning toilets.
- Emptying bins and recycling.
- Loading and unloading the dishwasher.
- Washing up where required.
- Restocking tea, coffee and other consumables.
- Maintaining a clean and organised working environment.
- Internal window cleaning where required.
- Keeping the office entrance and surrounding areas tidy.
- Washing a company vehicle approximately once every fortnight.
Serviced Accommodation (Airbnb)
Subject to guest bookings:
- Full property cleaning.
- Changing bedding.
- Laundry.
- Making beds to a high standard.
- Restocking guest consumables.
- Reporting any maintenance issues or damage.
- Taking photographs following each clean to demonstrate the completed standard.
Future Opportunities
As the role develops, you may also assist with:
- Professional LVT floor deep cleaning and maintenance.
- Floor care services for homeowners and developers.
- End-of-build sparkle cleans.
- Show home preparation.
- Property presentation.
- Warranty support visits.
- General property care and presentation.
About You
Previous cleaning experience is welcomed but is not essential.
We are far more interested in finding someone who genuinely takes pride in their work.
The ideal person will be:
- Honest and trustworthy.
- Reliable and punctual.
- Friendly and approachable.
- Organised and self-motivated.
- Able to work independently.
- Highly observant with excellent attention to detail.
- Someone who enjoys leaving every property looking its absolute best.
- Comfortable travelling between locations using their own vehicle.
- In possession of a full UK driving licence.
What We Offer
- £15.00 per hour.
- Flexible part-time hours.
- Branded company uniform.
- All cleaning equipment and products provided.
- Full training.
- Mileage paid for business travel between sites (where applicable).
- Opportunity for increased hours as the business grows.
- Opportunity to become an important part of a well-established, family-run business with an excellent reputation.
Why Join New Homes Flooring?
We don't see this as "just a cleaning job."
You'll be responsible for maintaining the presentation of our business, ensuring our serviced accommodation is ready to welcome guests, and helping us deliver the high standards our customers expect.
As the role develops, you'll also have the opportunity to become involved in specialist floor maintenance and property care services, making this a varied and rewarding position with genuine opportunity for growth.
For over 25 years, New Homes Flooring has built its reputation through repeat business, recommendations and consistently delivering quality. Every member of our team plays a part in maintaining that reputation, and this role is no exception.
If you enjoy taking pride in your work, have excellent attention to detail and want to join a business that genuinely values quality, we'd love to hear from you.
