Cleaning Manager

Cleaning Manager – National Grocery Retailer

The Role

We’re recruiting a Cleaning Manager for a major national grocery retailer, operating within a large, fast -paced facilities management contract. This is a hands -on management role – not a clipboard job. You’ll be responsible for keeping standards high, teams productive, and the site audit -ready at all times.

If you can’t manage people, handle pressure, or deal with clients professionally, this role isn’t for you.

• Ensure all cleaning standards meet contractual, audit, and hygiene requirements
  

• Plan rotas, manage absences, and deploy staff efficiently
  

• Carry out regular inspections and quality checks
  

• Deal with client requests, issues, and escalations promptly
  

• Maintain health & safety compliance, COSHH, and site documentation
  

• Train, induct, and performance -manage cleaning staff
  

• Step in operationally when required – this is not desk -only management
  

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Cleaning Manager or Supervisor (FM or retail environment preferred)
  

• Strong people management skills – you can lead, not just delegate
  

• Good working knowledge of cleaning methods, equipment, and chemicals
  

• Confident dealing with clients and senior site stakeholders
  

• Organised, reliable, and able to work under pressure
  

• Flexible with working hours, including weekends
  

• Right to work in the UK
  

What’s On Offer

• £14.50 per hour
  

• Temp -to -perm opportunity with long -term progression
  

• Stable, nationally recognised contract
  

• Immediate start available for the right candidate
