Job Description

Cleaning Supervisor – Afternoon/Evening Shift Location: Uxbridge area Salary: £30,771 Contract Type: Permanent Hours: Monday to Friday, 12:00pm to 8:00pm (37.5 hours per week) We’re recruiting on behalf of a respected organisation in the education sector who are seeking a hands-on Cleaning Supervisor to oversee and support their afternoon/evening cleaning team. This is an all-year-round permanent role, offering a consistent Monday to Friday schedule and the opportunity to lead a small, committed team.

If you’ve worked in a cleaning or housekeeping supervisory role—whether in education, hospitality, facilities or a similar setting—and you’re passionate about high standards and positive leadership, this could be a great next step.

About the Role: You’ll take responsibility for the smooth operation of the afternoon cleaning shift, ensuring that work is fairly distributed, completed to a high standard, and aligned with the wider operational needs of the site. You’ll lead by example, supporting your team with practical cleaning tasks as well as supervising their day-to-day duties.

This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys rolling their sleeves up while also motivating and organising a small team.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Allocating daily and weekly tasks to cleaners to ensure consistent standards and coverage.

• Supporting the cleaning team with their duties and acting as the main point of contact on shift.

• Monitoring cleanliness and ensuring work meets agreed service levels.

• Conducting 1-1s, appraisals, and managing absence reporting in line with internal processes.

• Maintaining cleaning supplies and logging hazardous materials in line with COSHH guidelines.

• Ensuring all equipment is in good working order and reporting maintenance needs.

• Coordinating with facilities management to support site events and ad hoc changes to cleaning schedules.

• Keeping accurate records and supporting training and inductions for new team members.

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience in a cleaning or facilities-based supervisory role.

• A working knowledge of health & safety, COSHH, and manual handling best practices.

• Comfortable using basic IT systems (e.g. email, logging systems) to record team activity.

• Strong people management skills with a fair and approachable leadership style.

• Reliable, organised, and committed to maintaining high standards.

• Experience in the education sector is welcome, but not essential—similar backgrounds such as hotels, hospitals or office environments are equally valued.

Additional Information:

• This is a permanent role, working all year round.

• An enhanced DBS will be required prior to starting; if you do not already hold one on the update service, the employer will arrange this for you.

• Occasional flexibility may be required for evening events or one-off cover.

• On-site parking available.
