Our cleaners maintain the hygiene standards of our school and office buildings. During school vacations, cleaning staff work together to prepare classrooms and school buildings for the next term. Cleaner-in-charge roles organise and supervise cleaning staff, and help maintain supplies. Cleaning roles in schools depend on the size of the school.
