About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

We are looking for a hardworking Mobile Services Operative Cleaner to join our Estates and Neighbourhoods service. Working across the borough, you will carry out general and intensive cleaning of communal estate areas, including graffiti removal, deep cleaning with specialist equipment, clearing refuse, and ensuring hazardous waste is safely removed. You will also support emergency responses, help maintain safe environments, and transport belongings or refuse from various locations as required.

About the team

You will be part of the Mobile Services Team, reporting to the Estate Services Team Leader. The team plays a vital role in keeping Haringey’s estates safe, clean and well‑maintained. You’ll work closely with residents and colleagues, reporting issues such as vandalism, abandoned vehicles and repairs, and ensuring that communal spaces remain welcoming and secure for all.

About you

We’re looking for someone with cleaning experience, confidence in dealing with the public, and the ability to work independently. You will be organised, physically capable of manual handling, and able to safely use cleaning tools and equipment. Strong communication skills, basic IT ability, and a commitment to delivering excellent service are essential. A full clean driving licence is desirable for this role
