Weekend Cleaner Coventry, England
Job description
As Coventry’s most iconic building, Coventry Cathedral is committed to providing a genuinely warm welcome for all, as well as ensuring that everyone who visits has an excellent visitor experience. The Cathedral also hosts many events, welcomes school groups, and holds regular worship services.
The cleaning team play a vital role in keeping the Cathedral clean and safe for all of those who use the space, as well as ensuring that our Grade I Listed Buildings always look their best.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and hardworking individual to join our friendly Cleaning Team, working on Fridays and Saturdays in order to support the full-time cleaning staff.
The role is offered on a 10 hours a week basis, working Fridays and Saturdays, and whilst the post-holder will be given set weekly hours a degree of flexibility will be required.
No specific qualifications are required but you should be able to demonstrate that you have experience of working in a cleaning role, are used to handling cleaning products and equipment, have an awareness of Health and Safety procedures - specifically COSHH, and be willing to work both independently and as part of a small team.
The role will be mainly based in the New Cathedral, covering the whole building, and a degree of physical fitness will be required.
The role will ordinarily be split across Friday and Saturday but may include varying shifts depending upon the activity taking place in the building so a degree of flexibility and adaptability will be needed.
If you have sympathy with the Christian ethos of the Cathedral, take pride in your work, and pay close attention to detail this could be the role for you.

- To report any issues or hazards as required and to flag any recurrent or major issues to relevant people.
- To be self-motivated and able to work well alone.
- To work collaboratively with all Cathedral colleagues.
- To perform such other duties as are reasonably required by the Head of Tourism or other department managers when necessary.
