Part-Time Cleaner – Salford

If you've cleaned around the Quays before, you'll know the rhythm: a BBC short-let in the Heart Apartments at half-eight, a Worsley semi at half-eleven, then back across the Eccles tram line for a Wednesday turnover in Ordsall.

We're hiring part-time domestic cleaners across Salford at £13.50 an hour, paid weekly, on rounds that span M3, M5, M6, M7, M27, M28, M30, M44 and M50.

That's the answer capsule. Below is everything else worth knowing before you apply.

What the work actually looks like

Salford is not one place.

It's a borough that contains Media City UK on one edge and Worsley village on the other, with Victorian terraces in central Salford, post-war estates around Pendleton, ex-mill conversions near Adelphi, 1930s semis in Walkden, and brand-new high-rises along the Quays.

The Quays rounds are mostly modern apartments occupied by media professionals on six-month BBC or ITV contracts.

They want a tight maintenance clean, in and out.

The Worsley and Walkden rounds are family homes, normally bigger and messier, and you'll do an actual mop-and-hoover round.

A fair chunk of our short-let bookings come through letting agents on or near Salford Quays.

Reeds Rains on Langworthy Road handles a lot of the Media City stock, and Peter Anthony covers Eccles, Monton and Salford Quays itself.

End-of-tenancy work picks up in the summer when BBC contracts roll over.

So the Quays apartments and Worsley family homes reach us as domestic cleaning in Salford, and the summer rollovers as end of tenancy cleaning in Salford.

On top of that, Salford customers book oven cleaning in Salford and carpet cleaning in Salford through us, both kept apart from this rota.

Pay, plain

Paid weekly, every Friday, by bank transfer.

You're self-employed with us and pick the hours that suit you.

That's above the £12.71 National Living Wage for over-21s, and it's at the upper end of what Maid2Clean Salford and the Bright & Beautiful Manchester franchise are paying their cleaners on a typical Salford round.

We pay weekly because monthly is awful when you're new and waiting on a first wage.

We pay the same rate for Quays apartments and Worsley semis.

Travel time between back-to-back jobs is paid where it's our scheduling.

• Getting around the patch
• The Eccles Line of the Metrolink is the spine.

It runs from town through Cornbrook, Exchange Quay, Salford Quays, Anchorage, Broadway, Weaste and Ladywell, then on-street to the Eccles terminus on Regent Street.

The Media City UK stop sits on a short spur off that line, so if a tram terminates at Eccles you change at Harbour City for the Quays.

Worth knowing on a wet morning.

• Salford Quays parking is the borough's main headache.

The car park at Capital Quay takes a hundred-plus cars but fills early on BBC studio days.

We give you a permit code where the client pays.

If you're cleaning at the Lowry end, the side streets behind the Imperial War Museum North are usually emptier than the Quays themselves.

• For Worsley and Walkden rounds, a car helps. The Bridgewater Canal towpath is fine for a walk on a day off, but it doesn't get you between two jobs.
• Irlam and Cadishead (M44) are at the edge of the patch. We'll only book you out there if it's a multi-hour single visit, not a quick maintenance clean.
• What we want from you
• You've cleaned before, somewhere, for someone, in a way you can describe in one sentence.
• You'll text the night before if a job needs to move. We can shuffle if we know.
• You don't ghost short-let bookings. Media City turnover days run on a timer and an empty flat at a one o'clock check-in costs the agent the booking.
