Area Manager – Commercial Cleaning
Kent, Sussex and Surrounding Areas | £35,000 + Company Vehicle | Full Time
Are you a great people manager who enjoys being out and about rather than sitting behind a desk?
Spotless Commercial Cleaning is looking for an Area Manager to take responsibility for a portfolio of customer sites across Kent, Sussex and the surrounding areas.
This is a varied, hands-on management position where you'll have real responsibility for your sites, your teams and your customers. You'll spend your time supporting cleaning teams, meeting clients, maintaining standards and making sure we deliver the service our customers expect.
What you'll get
£35,000 annual salary
Company vehicle
Company mobile phone
40 hours per week
Primarily Monday to Friday
Flexibility to organise your working day around your portfolio
Company pension
Stream access to earned wages
What you'll be doing
You'll take ownership of a portfolio of customer sites, including:
Leading, supporting and motivating your cleaning teams
Building strong relationships with customers
Visiting sites and completing quality audits
Recruiting and onboarding new team members
Ensuring staffing levels and cleaning standards are maintained
Managing attendance and resolving operational issues
Maintaining high Health & Safety standards
Working alongside other Area Managers and the wider Spotless team
You'll be visible, approachable and willing to get involved when your teams need support.
Who we're looking for
We're much more interested in your attitude, leadership ability and people skills than ticking every box.
You'll ideally have:
Previous supervisory or management experience
Experience leading frontline teams
Strong customer service skills
The confidence to manage several locations and priorities
Good organisation and communication skills
A full UK driving licence
Experience in commercial cleaning or facilities management would be an advantage, but we'd also welcome experienced managers from other fast-paced, multi-site environments.
Working pattern
This is a 40-hour, primarily Monday-Friday position. Because cleaning teams often work outside normal office hours, some early morning and occasional weekend flexibility is required. You'll have flexibility to organise your diary to make sure your teams and customers receive the support they need.
Interested?
If you're an experienced supervisor ready to take the next step, or you're already managing teams and looking for a varied role with more autonomy, we'd love to hear from you.
