We are the University of Cumbria, for and from Cumbria and our localities, rooted in serving our communities, with people, place and partnership at our heart. 

Now is a very exciting time to be joining us because we are delivering a new "Towards 2030" strategic plan focused on making the most of our three most valuable assets; People, Place and Partnerships, to become a catalyst for economic well-being for our region, nationally and internationally. 

Are you a suitably qualified, proactive and flexible individual looking to join a professional cleaning team with excellent benefits?

The General Assistant is an essential and varied role in the day-to-day running of the University.  You will work alongside other colleagues within the Domestic Services Team providing a professional cleaning service to staff and students, either working alone or as a part of a team, while working on similar tasks usually with short, defined timescales.  You will work on straightforward tasks or scheduled activities, based on clear instructions within well-established routines and procedures, in a friendly, supportive environment.

You must be an excellent team player, committed to delivering a quality service and able to work within established University regulations and procedures.
