Outline Duties and Information:
During the summer holidays Cranbrook School hosts a summer language school, Project International. Their students come from various countries and are of secondary school age. We have 5 boarding houses all of which may be used to accommodate the students – Blubery, Crowden, Cornwallis, School Lodge, Rammell and Scott.
The timings have yet to be finalised but will be approximately the following:
Friday 18 July – induction & shift - 8.30 – 12/1pm
Sunday 20 July - Thursday 24 July - 8.30 – 12/1pm
Saturday 26 July - Thursday 31 July - 8.30 – 12/1pm
Saturday 2 August 8.30–4.00pm (approx)*; Sun 3 August - Thurs 7 August - 8.30 – 12/1pm
Saturday 9 August – Thursday 14 August – 8.30 – 12/1pm
Saturday 16 / Sunday 17 & Monday 18 August 8.30 – 2pm
After the induction on Friday 18 July, the following Fridays will be the weekly day off.
· Previous staff management experience is essential.
· Please confirm whether you are available for the entire period.
The timings are dependent on the length of time taken to complete each boarding house according to the standards set and therefore will vary between midday and around 1pm. Saturdays are the busiest day of the week and in particular Saturday 2 August* as this is the main change over day when many students leave and new ones arrive. Therefore, this may well be a longer day. There may also be mini change overs on the other Saturdays and so flexibility on finish times will be required. Sundays will be a shorter day with only a light clean, 9.00 – 12.00. It is envisaged that if cleaners complete their allocated boarding house that they then go on to the next if that house is still working and therefore teams should all finish around the same time.
The Supervisor will oversee the cleaning teams in the five boarding houses.
Previous staff management experience is essential. Experience working in a similar environment or cleaning experience is desirable but not essential.
