  • Able to accommodate early starts and / or later finishes.

  • Varied and interesting work,  
  • 25 days holiday per annum, plus bank holidays, increasing with service.

Due to the safeguarding requirements of our customers, many of whom are schools or hospitals, we complete confidential criminal record checks on all roles that attend customer sites.  If you are successful, you will be required to complete an advanced DBS check. We strictly follow the DBS code of practice and comply with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.  If you have a criminal record, this will not necessarily preclude you from working for us.
