Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology is a creative production learning community, housed in the legendary Funkhaus, delivering Bachelor's and Master’s degree programmes. Organised into a Music School and Film School, our diverse and ever-growing programmes are based on the values and concepts of progressive, project-based education whilst complying with the rigorous requirements of a UK university qualification.
Aiming to become the international creative production and performance learning institution of choice, we encourage students to push their creative boundaries way beyond what they thought possible at the same time engaging with their personal growth as a human being. With students from over 75 different countries, our creative community is a working environment that is international and multicultural.
/// What are we looking for?
—A team member
Moving beyond outmoded ways of working together, striving toward a conscious people-centred culture, we operate in a distributed leadership model, which we can describe in more detail in-person. We are excited to invite team members who have the courage to bring more of their own interests, insights, and backgrounds to the mix.
Whilst the aims of the school are what bring us together, what keeps us together in our dynamic community is the idea that people can bring more of their authentic selves and not just their “professional” selves to the workplace.
—A cleaner
We are seeking a dedicated and detail-oriented cleaner to join our team. As a cleaner, you will play a vital role in maintaining a clean and sanitary environment within our facilities. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that our premises are consistently clean and presentable, contributing to the overall comfort and well-being of our employees, customers, and visitors.
—Key accountabilities
• Perform general cleaning tasks, including but not limited to sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dusting, and sanitising surfaces.
• Empty and dispose of trash receptacles.
Clean and disinfect WC, including sinks, toilets, and fixtures.
• Ensure that common areas, such as lobbies, hallways, and break rooms, are clean and organised.
• Maintain inventory of cleaning supplies and notify the supervisor when supplies need replenishing.
Follow established cleaning schedules and protocols.
• Handle special cleaning projects as needed, such as deep cleaning, window cleaning, and carpet cleaning.
• Report any maintenance or repair needs to the appropriate department.
• Adhere to all safety procedures and guidelines, including the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Collaborate with team members and communicate effectively with supervisors.
• Uphold company standards for cleanliness and hygiene.
—About you
• Proven experience as a Cleaner or in a similar role is a plus.
• Knowledge of cleaning products, techniques, and safety guidelines.
• Ability to work independently and efficiently.
Strong attention to detail and thoroughness.
• Physical stamina and the ability to lift and move heavy objects when necessary.
• Excellent time management skills.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Willingness to learn and adapt to changing cleaning procedures and standards.
/// What you can expect from us
We offer a working environment where learning and exchange are invited and encouraged. Within our vibrant creative community, we share a lively and flexible work environment. By design, the working environment invites fuller expression of yourself, taking initiative in shaping your own role(s), and opening up possibilities to develop yourself as a professional as well as a creative professional (if applicable).
Part of what animates our work together is trying to find ways of delivering a progressive and rigorous education to our students, whilst centering community and belonging. We therefore strongly encourage applications from those who would traditionally be excluded from an educational institution. For Catalyst that means we envision a constellation of team members that is diverse in its gender, race, class, ability, age and sexual orientation backgrounds.
