Self-Employed Cleaner Vacancy - Runcorn
Rate: £14.00 per hour
Job Type: Self-employed. Part-time. Flexible hours.
Job Description
We're looking for a reliable, self-employed cleaner to take on regular clients across Runcorn. You'll build up your own set of weekly or fortnightly bookings and shape your working week around them.
About Working in Runcorn
Runcorn covers a good spread of housing, from the older streets near the town centre to newer estates further out, and a lot of our clients are working families who'd rather hand cleaning over to someone reliable than squeeze it into an already busy week. Being just across the river from Widnes, some cleaners also pick up work on both sides of the bridge if they're happy to widen their round a little. We take care of finding clients and arranging insurance, so you can focus on the cleaning and build a schedule around your own commitments.
Areas We Cover in Runcorn
Client rounds are currently built across: Widnes, Frodsham, Halton, Preston Brook, Moore, Daresbury.
If you're based in or near any of these neighbourhoods (roughly the WA postcode area), you'll usually find clients within a short travelling distance. Coverage expands as new client sign-ups come in, so let us know your preferred area when you apply.
Vacancy Specifics in Runcorn
There are ongoing opportunities for self-employed cleaners with client rounds in Runcorn. Each visit generally lasts 2–3 hours, with the majority of clients preferring a weekly or fortnightly clean, giving you a predictable, regular workload. There's no monthly payroll wait — you're paid directly after each individual clean. Cleaning experience is preferred, though the flexible schedule still works well alongside other work or family commitments. Apply below and we'll match you with rounds in your area.
What You Can Expect
We'll match you with clients across Runcorn who need regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning. Visits are arranged for set times, so you'll always know your schedule in advance. Clients pay you directly, the rate is competitive, and you're insured while carrying out the work. You choose your own hours and which parts of Runcorn you'd like to cover, with no requirement to work evenings or weekends. Our local team is on hand if you ever need support.
Main Tasks
Typical duties include:
-
Cleaning kitchens and bathrooms
-
Dusting and polishing surfaces
-
Vacuuming
-
Mopping or steaming floors
-
Tidying rooms
-
Cleaning internal windows or similar household areas
What You Need
You'll need to be working on a self-employed basis with at least a year's experience in domestic cleaning or similar work, plus two references. A car and driving licence are useful, particularly if you're open to covering clients over towards Widnes as well as central Runcorn. Living in or near Runcorn is a real advantage for keeping travel time down. Cleaners who already have their own clients and want extra hours are also welcome to apply.
Why This Role Appeals to Many
The appeal here is having control over your own diary rather than someone else's rota, no dress code beyond casual clothing, and a steady base of local clients that means reliable income without long journeys out of the area.
