Job Description
Are you a dedicated and reliable Cleaning Operative seeking an immediate start in the vibrant Edinburgh Park business district? Recruiting Today is partnering with a prestigious client to fill a crucial role maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene across their modern commercial facilities. This is not just a cleaning job; it’s an opportunity to become an integral part of a professional team that values the critical contribution of cleaning staff to a safe, productive, and welcoming workplace environment. Our client operates a busy, multi-use commercial site, and they require a proactive individual who takes pride in their work and understands the importance of a spotless presentation for both staff and visitors.
As a leading recruitment and temporary staffing agency, we specialise in connecting skilled workers like you with reputable employers who need reliable support fast. This specific Cleaning Operative position in Edinburgh Park EH12 offers more than just a temporary role; it provides a pathway to ongoing work, with the potential for the assignment to become a permanent position for a candidate who demonstrates exceptional commitment and skill. Whether you are looking for flexible hours to fit around other commitments or seeking a stable, full-time schedule, we can structure opportunities to suit your needs, much like we do for roles such as Warehouse Operatives or Administrative Support Officers. By applying through Recruiting Today, you gain access to our local market expertise, dedicated consultant support, and a streamlined process designed to get you working quickly.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform daily cleaning tasks to a high standard across offices, communal areas, kitchens, and washrooms within the Edinburgh Park EH12 commercial premises.
- Safely and effectively operate industrial cleaning machinery, including vacuum cleaners, floor scrubbers, and carpet cleaners, following all manufacturer and client safety guidelines.
- Manage and replenish cleaning supplies and consumables, reporting any shortages or equipment faults to the site supervisor promptly to ensure uninterrupted service.
- Adhere strictly to COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations when handling, storing, and disposing of cleaning chemicals, ensuring a safe environment for all.
- Carry out periodic deep cleaning duties as scheduled, such as window cleaning, high-level dusting, and floor sealing, to maintain the site's presentation and meet client audit standards.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Cleaning Operative, cleaner, or in a similar janitorial role, ideally within a commercial, healthcare, or educational setting.
- A strong understanding of cleaning methodologies, hygiene standards, and health & safety protocols relevant to the role.
- Reliability, punctuality, and a professional attitude, with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision as well as part of a team.
- A positive, can-do attitude and physical fitness to perform manual tasks, including bending, lifting (within safe limits), and standing for extended periods.
Salary & Benefits
At Recruiting Today, we believe in fair compensation and transparent working arrangements. We negotiate competitive pay rates on behalf of all our candidates, ensuring your skills and experience are properly valued.
What You Can Expect:
- Competitive Hourly Pay: A rate that reflects your experience, paid weekly directly into your bank account.
- Immediate Start: No long waiting periods. Once you pass our swift registration and vetting process, you can begin work.
- Flexible Shifts: Opportunities for early morning, evening, or weekend shifts to suit your lifestyle.

- Dedicated Support: You will have a personal consultant from Recruiting Today to assist with any queries, timesheets, or career advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Cleaning Operative job in Edinburgh Park?
We pride ourselves on fast placements. For candidates with all their documentation ready (right-to-work, references), we can often facilitate a start within 24-48 hours of application. This role is flagged for an ASAP start, so we will process your application urgently.
What experience do I need to apply?
Previous experience in a commercial, office, or industrial cleaning role is highly desirable. However, we also consider applicants with a strong work ethic, reliability, and a willingness to learn. Full training on site-specific procedures and equipment will be provided. For those with experience in related fields like Event Security or hospitality, your discipline and customer-facing skills are also valuable.
Are the shifts flexible?
Yes, flexibility is a key feature of many of our temporary roles. This particular Edinburgh Park position may have set hours, but we have a wide range of cleaning jobs with early mornings, evenings, and weekends available. When you speak with our consultant, be clear about your availability, and we will match you with suitable opportunities, just as we do for Contact Centre Advisors or Personal Assistant (PA) roles.
Do you offer permanent roles?
Absolutely. While this is advertised as a temporary position, many of our temp assignments lead to permanent offers from the client for outstanding workers. We also have a dedicated permanent recruitment division that handles direct-hire roles across sectors including construction, healthcare, and warehousing.
What is the pay frequency and how do I get paid?
All our temporary workers are paid weekly, every Friday, for the hours worked the previous week. Payment is made directly into your UK bank account via BACS. You will submit digital timesheets, which we verify with the client, ensuring a smooth and prompt payment process.
I need work but am also interested in other types of jobs. Can you help?
Definitely. Recruiting Today is a multi-sector agency. When you register with us, your profile is active across all our divisions. If you have skills as a Gardener / Landscaper, warehouse operative, or in admin, we can search for those roles simultaneously.
