A career at Northumbria Police is like no other. We are passionate about where we live and what we do, we deliver exceptional support to our communities and we work together to make our local area a safer place for us all.

Our Business Services team keep things running smoothly for all of us here at Northumbria Police. They are a large team covering various services, including maintenance, health and safety, and supporting Front Line Policing. We’ve got a great opportunity to join the Business Services team as a Cleaner, where you’ll play an integral part in keeping our stations clean, safe, and functional.

WHAT WILL I BE DOING?

• Using specialist equipment and chemicals to clean washrooms and kitchens
• Vacuuming and mopping floors
• Use of floor machines will be required such as floor scrubber/dryers.
• Emptying bins and other general cleaning duties
• Maintaining up to date knowledge of health and safety legislation and complying with cleaning safety standards
• This is a physical role which also requires working at height.
  This is a really important role in our Police Force, so we are looking for someone who takes pride in what they do. You don’t need to have been a cleaner before – you just need a willingness to learn, the ability to work alone and as part of a team. It’s also essential that you have a reasonable level of fitness and that you are punctual and reliable.
