Key Duties of a Commercial Cleaning Supervisor

As a Cleaning Supervisor in Leeds LS1, you will be responsible for the full operational delivery of one or more commercial cleaning contracts. Your duties will be varied, fast-paced, and genuinely rewarding for someone with leadership ambition.

  • Supervise, motivate, and coordinate a team of cleaning operatives across multiple commercial sites in Leeds LS1
  • Plan, allocate, and adjust daily and weekly cleaning schedules to meet client-specified service delivery windows
  • Conduct regular quality inspections, complete audit reports, and implement corrective actions where standards are not met
  • Ensure full compliance with COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations and site-specific health & safety requirements
  • Manage cleaning equipment and consumable stock, including ordering, storage, and distribution of supplies
  • Induct and train new team members on correct cleaning procedures, chemical handling, and personal protective equipment (PPE) usage
