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.

• Manage and supervise on‑site cleaning teams across a large retail operation
• 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

• 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

• £14.50 per hour
• Temp-to-perm opportunity with long‑term progression
• Stable, nationally recognised contract
• Immediate start available for the right candidate
