Cleaner

We are recruiting cleaners in Markham for our own commercial cleaning service, which looks after restaurants and retail stores after hours.

You work to a checklist for each site: front-of-house and washrooms, floors, glass and high-touch surfaces in shops; and in restaurants, the kitchen as well, including hoods, grills and prep areas. The work is done when the business is closed, so it suits people who want evening or overnight hours.

Pay and hours

• $18.00 to $21.00 an hour. Kitchen deep-cleaning, floor care and overnight shifts pay at the top of the range.
• Evening, overnight and early-morning shifts, after the business closes or before it opens
• Part-time and full-time schedules, depending on the sites
• Overtime paid at time and a half after 44 hours in a week
• Offered as part-time and full-time work on Assured's own cleaning crews, with Assured as your employer.

What you will do

• Clean and sanitize kitchens, dining areas, sales floors and washrooms
• Sweep, mop, vacuum and machine-scrub floors
• Clean glass, counters and high-touch surfaces
• Restock washroom and cleaning supplies and remove waste
• Complete the site checklist and lock up as instructed

What you need

• Legally entitled to work in Canada
• Able to work evenings, nights or early mornings
• Able to stand, bend and lift up to 40 lb (18 kg) for a full shift
• Trustworthy with keys and alarm codes; a criminal record check may be required

Helpful, not required: commercial or restaurant cleaning experience; floor stripping, waxing and buffing; a WHMIS certificate; a driver's licence for multi-site routes.

The work environment

• Physical work with cleaning chemicals; gloves and training are provided
• Working alone or in a small crew in a closed building
• Some routes cover more than one site in a shift

What you get

• Paid every week by direct deposit, with an electronic pay stub
• Vacation pay on top of your hourly rate, and public holiday pay when you qualify
• WSIB coverage from your first shift, with tax and other deductions handled on every pay
• A safety orientation before you start, and WHMIS training arranged if you need it
• A recruiter you can phone seven days a week
• Never a fee. Employers pay for our service, not you
