We offer a variety of flexible shift patterns to suit different lifestyles. The most common are early morning shifts (e.g., 6am - 9am) before school starts, afternoon/evening shifts (e.g., 3pm - 6pm) after pupils leave, and daytime shifts during term-time holidays for deep cleaning projects. We discuss your availability during registration to match you with the most suitable school. For other flexible work patterns, see our guide to remote and flexible roles.
Yes, an Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check is mandatory for all staff working in schools. The great news is that Temping Agency can manage the entire application process for you. We will guide you through the online form, verify your documents, and submit the application. There is usually a cost associated, which we can discuss with you. Having an existing, portable DBS certificate is a significant advantage for a faster start.
While experience in a school or similar large commercial environment (like offices, hospitals, or hotels) is highly desirable, it is not always a strict requirement. We value reliability, a strong work ethic, and attention to detail above all. If you have thorough domestic cleaning experience and can demonstrate professionalism and punctuality, we encourage you to apply. We provide a site induction and our clients often give specific training on their equipment and standards.
For candidates with all their right-to-work documents ready and, ideally, an existing DBS, the process can be incredibly fast.
