Applicants must provide a valid passport or national identity card plus proof of right to work such as a share code from the GOV.UK service or a biometric residence permit.

Full-time cleaning contracts are typically 37.5 hours per week with a maximum average of 48 hours under the Working Time Regulations 1998.
