Senior Team Leader – Building Cleaning

Make an impact. Lead with pride. Shape a service that keeps our community shining.

We’re looking for a confident, people-focused leader to take charge of our Building Cleaning Service at Chesterfield Borough Council. If you’re someone who can rally a team, solve problems on the spot and raise standards across the board,  this is your next move.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and inspire cleaning teams to deliver spotless, high-quality results across our buildings.
  • Manage people, equipment, materials and budgets with confidence.
  • Hold regular check-ins and develop your team to be flexible, motivated and customer focused.
  • Drive smarter, safer and more efficient ways of working.
  • Champion top-tier Health & Safety standards and support investigations where needed.
  • Step in operationally when required, you’ll be hands-on and ready to help.
  • Spot opportunities to improve our service and add real value.

What You Bring

  • Energy, initiative and a can-do, lead-from-the-front attitude.
  • Experience in cleaning services and working across different teams.
  • Strong communication and people-management skills.
  • Confidence in managing workloads, deadlines and customer expectations.
  • An understanding of Health & Safety and why it matters.
  • NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent) and a full driving licence.

(If you’re not yet management-qualified, no problem,  you’ll have the opportunity to gain it.)

Why Join Us?

Because this is more than a cleaning role,  it’s a leadership role with real community impact. You’ll help create safe, welcoming spaces for residents, staff and visitors, while developing a team that takes pride in what they do.

You’ll also get:

  • Training, development and room to grow
  • A supportive team culture
  • Flexibility, including occasional evenings and weekends
  • A chance to make a visible difference every single day
