About the School Cleaner Role in Leeds LS4

Schools across the LS4 postcode and wider West Yorkshire area are facing growing demand for professional, DBS-checked cleaning staff who understand the unique hygiene standards required in educational environments. From primary academies in Kirkstall to secondary schools in Burley, our client schools rely on Team Staffing Agency's education cleaning division to provide dependable cover — particularly during peak term periods when absenteeism places additional pressure on in-house facilities teams.

As a school cleaner placed by Team Staffing Agency in Leeds LS4, you will be responsible for maintaining classrooms, corridors, toilets, staff areas, and communal spaces to the exacting standards required by local authority and academy trust inspection frameworks. You will work alongside school facilities managers and report directly to site supervisors, ensuring the learning environment remains safe, hygienic, and welcoming for staff and pupils alike.

Key Duties & Daily Responsibilities

• Sweep, mop, and vacuum all classroom floors, hallways, and reception areas before the school day commences
• Clean and sanitise toilet facilities, washrooms, and changing rooms to BICSc hygiene standards
• Empty waste bins, replace bin liners, and dispose of refuse in line with the school's recycling policy
• Clean internal glass, windows, and surface areas in staff rooms, offices, and library spaces
• Replenish soap, hand sanitiser, paper towels, and toilet tissue in all washroom areas
• Operate commercial cleaning equipment including wet-dry vacuums, floor scrubbers, and rotary machines where required
• Follow COSHH-compliant chemical handling procedures and complete daily cleaning records accurately
• Report maintenance issues such as broken fittings, damaged flooring, or hazardous spillages to the site manager
