Blackpool Sixth is a first-class college specialising in 16-19 education and we are on the lookout for an enthusiastic cleaner to help keep our classrooms and offices looking top notch.

  • Whizzing through classrooms with your cleaning kit, leaving everything spotless and ready for the next day’s learning
  • Giving our staff rooms and offices the VIP treatment; hoovered, dusted, and gleaming
  • Keeping corridors, stairwells and toilets tidy, fresh and welcoming
  • Being the behind-the-scenes hero who helps create a clean, safe and happy environment for everyone at the college
  • Working independently but knowing you’re part of a brilliant, supportive team that appreciates what you do
