      Groundsman/labourer/professional cleaner

      I have worked Part-time as a groundsman, general labourer and Professional​ Cleaner at Alisha Services. This included the maintenance of windows and grounds at schools and nursing homes across Essex and east London. The job also entailed build-cleans on a number of sites in London. With companies such as Ford, Crossrail and Ashbey and Croft. On these build cleans it would often be my responsibility to manage other Professional cleaners to get the site cleaned and presentable for the hand-over.Overall i think this Job gave me a good understanding of what it is like to work together with people of different trades on site.
