Sector Training Overview- Cleaning

Recruiting cleaning staff

We can help you with our cost-free recruitment and sector training service if you are recruiting cleaning staff. All of our candidates are industry trained and interview-ready.  

Recently, recruiting cleaning staff has been difficult and the cleaning and hygiene industry has experienced staff shortages. This has been attributed to an increase in demand for services, especially in healthcare and educational settings to combat the spread of Covid-19, reports the British Cleaning Council 

How can we help you to recruit cleaners? 

When you partner with us, the candidates we put forward for your vacancies will have received in-depth employment support and sector-specific training.  

Training includes:

The topics we cover give candidates an overview of the cleaning sector, exploring all the industries and functions within the sector. A key part of industry-specific training is preparing our candidates with the skills and regulations required to work in the sector.

  • Communication skills, in particular, the importance of active listening to ensure a positive working relationship. 
  • Transferable skills for candidates who are looking to upskill and become work-ready for a new sector. 
  • Equality and diversity training, including the Equality Act 2010 and the guiding principles within it.
