• Maintain safe working practices in line with COSHH and site-specific health & safety protocols
• Keep cleaning supplies stocked in the company vehicle and report any site-specific requirements
• Build positive working relationships with on-site contacts and your Heb area manager
• Ensure all tasks are completed to the highest standard and within allocated time

• Prior cleaning experience preferred, especially in schools, offices, or public buildings
• A valid full UK driving licence (clean), essential for the mobile nature of the role
• Flexibility to work different shifts, including occasional evenings and weekends
• Physically fit and comfortable working independently or in teams
• Strong attention to detail, time management, and personal presentation
• Willingness to travel regularly and sometimes at short notice
• Enhanced DBS check is preferred (can be arranged if required)

As a Mobile Operative, no two days are ever the same. You’ll be part of a trusted response team, covering multiple sites and playing a key role in helping us keep critical spaces clean, safe, and operational. You’ll benefit from the flexibility of varied work, the support of a close-knit management team, and the security of consistent hours and fair pay.

We’ll provide you with a company vehicle, all necessary training, and ongoing support from your area manager. You’ll work across a range of school, healthcare, office, and public-sector sites, gaining experience in different environments while being part of a wider team that values reliability and professionalism.

If you’re someone who enjoys variety, likes being on the move, and takes pride in a job well done, you’ll find long-term stability and real purpose in this role. Many of our senior team members began as operatives, and we’ll always back people with the right attitude and work ethic.
