Paid every two weeks Self employed Travel time between apartments is included in the working hours. Transport: Transport costs are borne by you and are not deductible. Schedule: Starts around 10:00. Ends around 18:00. Overtime if desired. 30 minute unpaid break. We require individuals experienced in housekeeping, hotel, or Airbnb cleaning, capable of quickly managing cleaning tasks and using a phone. In addition to cleaning, we use an app to upload photos and report apartment issues. This job combines cleaning, tech, and app They have an app on phone usage. We need full-time individuals with flexible schedules. Office -Warehouse: Located in Covent Garden (WC2H 9BF ), where the warehouse is located. All cleaning teams meet there, pick up the products (with wheelbarrows) and then take the bus to the first apartment. Then, the journey to the second apartment is on foot, and to the third by bus, many locations are in the city centre. Travel time between apartments is considered part of working hours. Locations: Varies daily, and between them is by walking or bus-tube. Some locations are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes from the warehouse. Process: After the cleaning is completed, the apartment must be registered in the app, following all the steps to mark it ready for booking. Approximately 2 or 3 apartments are cleaned per day (apartments with 1, 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living room). Clean linen is available in the apartments, in the hallway or inside. Each block has a storage room on the ground floor with a vacuum cleaner, mop and other utensils and materials. Materials: Cleaning products are provided by the hotel. The staff must pick up toiletries (hygiene products, coffee, sugar, etc.) from the desk. We have handcarts with rollers. Instead, all apartments have a storage room on the ground floor, they have a vacuum cleaner and mop there, and every morning you find clean linen in the hallway of the building or in the apartments. You leave dirty sheets and towels there in the hallway of the block or in the storage room in the building.

But you have to understand that here you have to walk or take the bus and sometimes the metro to get to the apartments. They have 100 apartments in 15 different locations and you always have to report to 3 groups. The work here is a bit stressful because there is a lot of information, besides cleaning everything is done by phone and reported in the app and 3 WhatsApp groups. Thank you
