Looking for a Summer Job? We're looking for cleaners and pot washers. Excellent rates of pay, suitable for anyone 14 plus. No need for pot wash experience, some cleaning experience helps (even if it's just making sure your own house is spotless!).

Great if you're after a few days a week - cleaning on Friday, Saturday and Mondays are our main days.
