Are you someone who takes pride in creating clean, safe and welcoming spaces? We're looking for a Cleaning Assistant to join our team at our Retirement Living Village, where you'll play a vital role in supporting the health, comfort and dignity of our residents.

This is more than just a cleaning job - it's an opportunity to positively impact the daily lives of seniors living independently in a proud and respectful community.

About the Role:

As a Cleaning Assistant, your primary responsibility will be to ensure the village's communal and residential spaces remain clean, tidy and maintained to the highest standard. Your day-to-day tasks will include:

  • Following scheduled cleaning routines across common areas, including lounges, hallways, dining spaces, and bathrooms
  • Performing detailed weekly cleans in line with our village's procedures
  • Spot-cleaning as needed and attending to spills promptly
  • Checking and restocking supplies such as hand soap, paper towels and toilet paper
  • Emptying and sanitising bins, replacing liners
  • Supporting hygiene standards that ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents, visitors and fellow team members
  • Occasional high cleaning (e.g. dusting fans, vents, or ceiling corners) in communal areas
  • Maintaining equipment and ensuring safe use of cleaning chemicals
About You:

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has a strong eye for detail and takes pride in their work
  • Can follow cleaning routines and manage their time effectively
  • Understands the importance of cleanliness in shared living spaces
  • Brings a respectful and friendly approach when interacting with older residents
  • Can work both independently and as part of a close-knit team
  • Has experience in a cleaning, housekeeping, or facilities role (preferred but not essential)
Requirements:
  • Current right to work in Australia
  • Willingness to undergo a Police Check (or NDIS Worker Screening, if applicable)
  • Availability for some weekend or out-of-hours shifts if required
Why Join Us?

Working in a retirement living setting means being part of a vibrant, caring community. You'll be valued not just for the work you do - but for the way you do it. We're committed to supporting our residents to live with independence and dignity, and our cleaning team plays a critical role in making that possible.
