Cannington Community College are looking to appoint a hard-working and dedicated Assistant Cleaner in Charge.
In collaboration with the Manager Corporate Services and Cleaner in Charge, you will be required to undertake cleaning duties within the college. Flexibility will be essential as job roles may develop and change as the college grows.
We are looking for a team player to work collaboratively with all staff as part of a whole college community. Successful applicants will ideally have good interpersonal and communications skills. The successful applicant will ideally possess good attention to detail to ensure a clean and safe college environment. It is desirable that you are organised and have an excellent knowledge of cleaning equipment and safe cleaning procedures, methods, and practices in accordance with the Department’s policies and guidelines.
The successful applicant will be required to carry out internal cleaning duties, including the maintenance of carpets and hard floor surfaces, toilet cleaning, furniture and fittings, window cleaning, dusting, rubbish removal, and other items of general cleaning. In addition to this, you would also carry out external cleaning duties, including the cleaning of verandas and covered areas, rubbish removal, cleaning of drinking troughs, window cleaning, removal of cobwebs, and other such duties as required by the Cleaner-In-Charge. You will also assist and support the Cleaner in Charge with duties including coordination of staff tasks, induction training for new staff, opening and locking the college including security setting and monthly cleaning inspections. During the vacation periods you will complete various cleaning duties, such as pressure cleaning verandas and undercover areas, and other duties outlined in the Fundamentals of Cleaning Guidelines.
Safety is of major importance and successful applicants should have the ability to read and apply Material Safety Data Sheets, equipment operating instructions, safety instructions and training guidelines. Suitable applicants will ideally have experience with the safe use and storage of cleaning equipment, materials and chemicals.
Cannington Community College is located 12 km from the Perth CBD and is close to the City of Canning's commercial precinct and major bus and train routes. Most of the students are drawn from the local area; however, the trend for student enrolments outside the area is increasing. The ethnic diversity of Cannington has increased in recent years and this contributes to the richness of the educational experience at the College. Urban redevelopment is bringing many new families into the area.
The Department is an equal opportunity employer and encourages people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and persons from culturally diverse backgrounds to apply.
To be suitable for this role, you will need to demonstrate the following work related requirements (selection criteria):

• Ability to recognise and interpret Material Safety Data Sheets, equipment operating instructions, safety instructions and training guidelines.
• Knowledge of and ability to use cleaning equipment, including polishers, vacuum cleaners and pressure cleaners.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills.
• Experience in the safe use and storage of cleaning equipment, materials and chemicals.
• Initiative and good organisational skills.
