Your work will have a direct, positive impact on the daily experience of students and teachers alike.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform daily deep cleaning of classrooms, hallways, staff rooms, offices, and toilets, including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and sanitising all surfaces to a high standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this School Cleaner job in Birmingham B5?
We are recruiting for an immediate start. The process can be very fast for candidates who have their documentation ready. After a successful interview and once all necessary compliance checks (like DBS) are initiated or verified, you could be starting within a matter of days. We specialise in rapid placement, much like our service for immediate start jobs in Sunderland.
Do I need a DBS check to work as a School Cleaner?
Yes. Because you will be working on school premises, often outside of teaching hours but in a child-focused environment, a valid Enhanced DBS check is a mandatory requirement. If you have an existing DBS on the Update Service, we can verify it quickly. If not, we will guide you through the application process as part of your registration. We handle all the paperwork.
What shift patterns are typically available for school cleaning roles?
Most school cleaner and janitor roles operate on split shifts: early morning (e.g., 6am-9am) before school starts, and late afternoon/evening (e.g., 3pm-6pm) after school finishes. Some roles may be daytime only in offices or during holidays. We will always discuss the specific shift pattern for this Birmingham B5 role during your initial consultation to ensure it matches your availability.
Is previous experience in a school necessary?
While experience in a school or similar environment (e.g., college, nursery, care home) is a strong advantage, it is not always essential. We value reliability, a strong work ethic, and good cleaning skills above all. If you have proven commercial or office cleaning experience, we would still encourage you to apply. Our talent sourcing expertise helps us identify transferable skills.
What are the career progression opportunities from a temporary cleaning role?
Starting as a temporary School Cleaner / Janitor is an excellent foot in the door. Many of our temporary placements lead to permanent contracts with the school. From there, you could progress to a Senior Cleaner, Team Leader, or Site Supervisor role. It's a stable sector with clear paths for advancement for dedicated individuals.
How does Workers-Direct support me once I'm in the role?
You will have a dedicated consultant who is your point of contact for any queries regarding pay, hours, or the assignment itself. We conduct regular check-ins to ensure you are happy and the placement is going well. We manage all the employer responsibilities, so you can focus on your job.
