Good student job
Great job as a student, wages were not good but training and support was good and the management and my co-workers were excellent. I would highly recommend this whilst a student.
Cleaning Assistant in Birmingham
on 25 July 2023
Great people and flexible hours
Working here is ideal for students as the shifts are very flexible and you will always get plenty of shifts if you are available. Senior staff are very friendly and helpful too. Only negative is shift times are either early or very late, however this means you can fit them around a typical uni schedule easily.
