Rate: £14.50 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 Southend-on-Sea. You'll build up your own set of weekly or fortnightly bookings and shape your working week around them.

About Working in Southend on Sea

Southend is one of the bigger towns we cover, with a wide mix of households from seafront flats to family homes further inland, so there's a steady flow of work for cleaners looking to build up regular clients. Being a well-connected town with good train links into London, a lot of our clients here are working professionals who commute and simply don't have the time to keep on top of cleaning themselves. We handle finding the clients and arranging insurance, so you can focus on the work and build a round that suits your own routine.

Areas We Cover in Southend on Sea

Client rounds are currently built across: Westcliff-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Shoeburyness, Prittlewell, Thorpe Bay, Eastwood.

If you're based in or near any of these neighbourhoods (roughly the SS 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.

Typical duties include:

  • Cleaning kitchens and bathrooms

  • Dusting and polishing surfaces

  • Tidying rooms

  • Cleaning internal windows or similar household areas

What You Need

You'll need to be self-employed with at least a year's experience in domestic cleaning or similar work, along with two references. A car and driving licence are useful given how spread out Southend is, from the seafront through to areas like Prittlewell, Westcliff and Leigh-on-Sea. Living in or near Southend is a real advantage for keeping your travel time down. Cleaners who already have their own client base and want extra hours are also welcome to apply.

Why This Role Appeals to Many

Cleaners who take this on like setting their own diary rather than working to someone else's rota. There's no dress code beyond casual clothing, and a steady base of local clients across the town means reliable income without long journeys out of the area.
