Job Description
We are seeking a diligent and reliable Cleaning Operative to join a well-established team providing essential cleaning services for a portfolio of commercial and light industrial clients in the Manchester M17 area. This is a hands-on role where your work directly contributes to maintaining a safe, hygienic, and professional environment for staff and visitors. The position is managed through Recruiting Today, giving you the security of a reputable agency behind you while you work on-site for our client. Our client operates across multiple sectors, meaning your experience could range from maintaining office blocks to supporting logistics hubs, similar to the environments you might find in our Warehouse Operative jobs in Trafford Park.
This role is perfect for someone who takes pride in their work, understands the importance of health and safety protocols, and is looking for a stable assignment with the potential to become a long-term opportunity. As a specialist in construction staffing and commercial cleaning recruitment, we understand the specific demands of the role. You will be supplied with the necessary equipment and receive a full site induction. We champion the value of temporary staff across all industries, a topic explored in our video"10 Industries That Would COLLAPSE Without Temp Workers", which highlights how vital roles like yours are to the UK economy.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform daily cleaning tasks to a high standard, including vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and sanitising surfaces in designated areas such as offices, washrooms, communal spaces, and sometimes light industrial units.
- Emptying waste bins and ensuring proper disposal of rubbish, including segregating recyclable materials in line with the client's environmental policy.
- Cleaning and sanitising toilet facilities, including replenishing soap, paper towels, and toilet rolls to ensure they are fully stocked and hygienic.
- Operating and maintaining basic cleaning machinery (e.g., industrial vacuum cleaners, floor scrubbers) after appropriate training, reporting any faults immediately.
- Adhering strictly to all COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations and site-specific health and safety procedures to ensure a safe working environment for yourself and others.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Cleaning Operative, cleaner, or in a similar janitorial role within a commercial, industrial, or healthcare setting. Transferable skills from roles like a Demolition Labourer / Operative (with attention to tidiness and safety) are also valued.
- A strong work ethic, reliability, and the ability to work effectively both independently with minimal supervision and as part of a wider cleaning team.
- A good understanding of, and commitment to, health and safety practices. Any formal training (e.g., basic health and safety awareness) is a distinct advantage.
- Physical fitness to perform manual tasks, including bending, lifting (within safe limits), and standing for extended periods. A positive, can-do attitude is essential.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in offering a fair and attractive package to secure the best talent for our clients. While the specific pay rate for this Cleaning Operative role is competitive and will be confirmed upon application based on your experience and the shift pattern, we are transparent about the benefits of working with Recruiting Today.
Your Rewards Package
- Weekly Pay: You will be paid reliably every week, directly into your bank account.
- Holiday Pay: Accrual of statutory holiday pay in line with current regulations.
- Flexible Shifts: We work with clients who offer a variety of shifts, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends, to fit around your lifestyle.
- Temp-to-Perm Pathway: Many of our temporary assignments, like this one in Manchester M17, have the potential to become permanent positions for candidates who excel.
- Career Development: Gain experience with reputable businesses, which strengthens your CV. We also recruit for supervisory roles; performing well as an Operative can be a stepping stone.
- Dedicated Support: You will have a personal consultant from our Manchester team to support you throughout your assignment, handle any queries, and help you find your next role.
Understanding your total compensation is crucial. We recommend watching our insightful video,"The Real Cost of Temporary Workers Explained: What Businesses ALWAYS Overlook", which sheds light on how agencies like ours structure pay and benefits to ensure fairness. This role is not just a job; it's an opportunity to build a stable income with a respected local employer, similar to the opportunities we provide for Construction Site Cleaners across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experience do I need to be a Cleaning Operative in Manchester M17?
While previous commercial or industrial cleaning experience is preferred, we value reliability and a strong work ethic above all. Transferable experience from roles requiring diligence, such as a Barista (maintaining a clean station) or a Warehouse Operative, is often highly relevant. Full training on specific equipment and site procedures will be provided.
How quickly can I start after applying?
For candidates with all the correct documentation ready (proof of right to work, address, and NI number), we aim for an incredibly fast turnaround. It is possible to be screened, registered, and starting work within 48-72 hours of your initial application, especially for these immediate start roles.
What kind of shifts are available for Cleaning Operatives?
Shifts vary by client but typically include early mornings (e.g., 5 am starts), evenings (finishing around 9 pm), and sometimes weekends. We work with you to find assignments that match your availability, whether you're looking for full-time hours or part-time flexibility.
Do you provide uniforms and equipment?
This depends on the specific client. Most clients will provide any necessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) such as high-vis vests and safety footwear if required, as well as all cleaning materials and machinery. You will typically need to provide your own suitable, durable work clothing.
Is there career progression from a Cleaning Operative role?
Absolutely. Demonstrating reliability, initiative, and leadership can lead to promotion to supervisory roles, such as Cleaning Supervisor or Site Manager. We also encourage cross-skilling; for instance, a reliable operative might be recommended for other trades we staff, like a Plasterer or Demolition Labourer assistant, through our dedicated Construction division.
What makes Recruiting Today different from other agencies?
We focus on building long-term relationships, not just filling a shift. You get a dedicated consultant, transparent communication about pay and conditions, and access to a wide range of roles through our comprehensive Recruitment Services. We are a local agency with national reach, understanding the Manchester M17 market intimately.
