Cleaning Team Leader

Here's a more generic, less identifiable version of the JD that keeps the core requirements but removes obvious Warner Bros.

/ NUServe / Watford clues.

You can tweak the site name and client type as needed.




Job Title: Area Cleaning Manager - Large‑Scale Production Site

Location: Hertfordshire area (20-30 minutes commute preferred)

Salary: £30,000 - £32,000 + Company Vehicle

Schedule: 2pm - 10pm, Monday to Friday (with potential weekend work)

Reports To: Site Contract Manager

Start Date: ASAP (open to waiting for the right candidate)




About the Role

We're looking for a hands‑on Area Cleaning Manager to oversee cleaning operations across a large, high‑traffic production site.

This is not a standard office‑style cleaning role - the environment is mixed indoor/outdoor, with live construction activity, changing layouts, and weather‑dependent work.



You'll be responsible for managing a sizeable cleaning team, maintaining high hygiene and safety standards, and supporting the contract manager so they can focus on site expansion and client delivery.




Key Responsibilities



  • Lead and supervise a team of cleaning operatives across multiple operational zones, including washrooms, backstage areas, and public‑facing spaces.





  • Plan and coordinate shift patterns, cover, and workload to ensure consistent standards during busy periods.





  • Conduct daily inspections and quality checks, responding quickly to issues such as washroom failures or urgent clean‑downs.





  • Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards, including COSHH, PPE, and site‑specific rules.





  • Manage stock, equipment, and storage areas for cleaning materials and tools.





  • Work closely with site management, construction teams, and client representatives to keep operations running smoothly.





  • Support recruitment, onboarding, and training of new staff, including occasional weekend or additional‑shift roles.





  • Step in to perform cleaning tasks when required - this is a hands‑on leadership role, not a desk‑only position.






About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys a fast‑paced, challenging environment and is comfortable managing people while still getting stuck in.



Essential:





  • Proven experience as a Cleaning Supervisor, Team Leader, or Area Manager in facilities, industrial, or production‑type environments.





  • Strong people‑management skills and the ability to motivate diverse teams.





  • Confident, decisive, and able to handle pressure in a busy, changing site.





  • Practical, solution‑focused mindset - happy to fix problems on the ground.





  • Full UK driving licence; company electric van provided (can be taken home).





  • Based within roughly 20-30 minutes of the site location.





Desirable:





  • Experience working on live construction or mixed‑use sites.





  • Previous work in entertainment, studio, or visitor‑attraction environments (or similar high‑footfall sites).





  • Flexibility to cover additional weekend or shift‑pattern work for extra hours.






What We Offer



  • Salary band £30,000 - £32,000 with potential review based on performance.
