You will also be:

• emptying waste bins and ensuring waste is disposed of properly
• replenishing supplies such as hand soap and paper towels
• vacuuming large floor spaces
• dusting skirting boards, door frames and office furniture

The successful candidates will need to be flexible, as it is highly likely that your working location and the tasks you are completing will change regularly.
