The Role

You will be cleaning homes across the Adelaide Hills, out of Mount Barker. We service the Hills only, so applicants in or near Mount Barker are preferred.

A week is a set round of regular clients. You see the same homes on the same days, which means you learn them, and a home you know is quicker to clean well than one you are meeting for the first time. There is no chasing one-off jobs and no waiting to find out what tomorrow looks like.

You will need a current driver licence and your own car, because the homes are spread across the Hills. Everything else comes with the job.

Before experience

What We Look For

Attitude and enthusiasm, above everything else. We interview for reliability and care as much as for experience.

  • Attitude

    We can train the cleaning. We cannot train a good attitude, so this is the thing we weigh first.

  • Reliability

    You turn up, on the day, at the time. Clients build their week around it and so does the round.

  • Care

    You notice the thing nobody pointed out. The standard is a checklist, but the difference is attention.

One thing to be clear about before you apply: this is physical work. You are on your feet and moving for the whole shift. We say so plainly because the people who last in this job are the ones who knew what they were taking on.

The other side of it

What You Get

  • Employed, not subcontracted

    You are on the books. No ABN, no invoicing and no chasing your own superannuation. The obligations an employer carries stay with us.

  • Trained from scratch

    No cleaning experience needed. You work through the training material, shadow experienced cleaners in real homes, and are signed off before you work alone.

  • The same clients each week

    You work a set round of regular homes on set days. It is steadier than a churn of one-off jobs, and knowing a house is what makes a good clean quicker.

  • Everything supplied

    Products, microfibre cloths, fresh mop heads and equipment come with the job. You do not buy your own supplies and you do not carry the cost of them.

Work That Does Not Wreck You

Cleaning is hard on a body. Back injuries, joint damage and years of exposure to harsh chemicals are a real problem in this industry, and we are not willing to build a business on that. The products we use are environmentally friendly, low-tox and septic safe. We train for technique, not just for results, and we build rounds that are physically sustainable.

How We Work Against It

What the work is worth

Pay And Progression

Everyone starts at Level 1. The rate is set out here because you should be able to see what the work is worth before you apply.

  1. Level 1

    Cleaning Specialist

    $40per hour plus 12% super

  2. Level 2

    Team Leader and Trainer

    $44per hour plus 12% super

  3. Level 3

    Manager

    $50per hour plus 12% super

Level 1 cleaners are reviewed for Level 2 at six months. Level 3 sits in the one to two year range. Both are filled from within as the business grows, so the people who train the next cleaners are the ones who learned the standard first.

After you apply

How Hiring Works

Five steps, in this order, so you know what is coming. Nobody skips ahead and nobody is surprised.

  1. Qualify

    We read your application and work out whether the role is a fit both ways.

  2. Police check

    A police check is run before an interview is offered. It is a condition of the role.

  3. Interview

    A conversation about reliability and care as much as about cleaning.

  4. Trial

    You work a trial, because the only honest way to assess this job is to do it.

  5. Train

    Training to full competency, then a sign-off before you work in a home alone.
