Please note: DBS is required for this position.

Deputy Service Manager Responsibilities:

• As Deputy Service Manager, you will be responsible for looking after a team of cleaners. You’ll be their first point of contact on a day-to-day basis, building solid working relationships to ensure they understand what is expected of them and why what they do matters.
• Juggle workload to ensure you support your team when they need you, ensuring that they are paid, take holiday, have the right tools and are trained and motivated to deliver a high-quality job safely.
