Unity

Job Description

Are you an experienced cleaner wanting flexible work that fits around your life in Leeds?

This self‑employed opportunity lets you use a leading app‑based platform to pick cleaning jobs in your local area, choose when and where you work, and build either a full‑time income or top up your earnings between other commitments.

You’ll accept jobs through a simple mobile app, see the rate before committing, and can reserve regular clients each week for stability. Work includes domestic or commercial cleaning, depending on your experience and preferences, and you’ll be responsible for delivering a high standard of cleanliness and reliability on every visit.

There’s no minimum‑hours commitment – you decide how much you work. The platform offers consistent job availability, fast payment, and no need to chase clients yourself. You just focus on delivering great results and let the app handle bookings and payments.

To join, you’ll need previous professional cleaning experience, a smartphone to access the app, the right to work in the UK and either existing self‑employed status or a willingness to register. Strong attention to detail, time management and a professional attitude are essential.

Please note: due to visa restrictions, applicants on Student visas cannot apply for these opportunities.

Job Summary

You’ll use your existing cleaning skills to deliver quality work, while the platform provides regular jobs, clear rates, fast payment and full control over your schedule.


FAQs

Q1. Do I need my own cleaning products and equipment?
Typically, self‑employed cleaners either use the client’s products or supply their own; exact expectations are shown in the job details on the app.

Q2. How do I get paid?
You’re paid by the platform according to completed jobs and their agreed rates. Payment is usually processed on a regular schedule – details are provided during onboarding.

Q3. Can I work around another job or childcare?
Yes. There are no minimum hours, so you can accept jobs only at times that suit you.

Q4. Do I have to find my own clients?
No. The platform supplies a steady stream of job offers; you simply accept the ones you want through the app.

Q5. I’m not yet registered as self‑employed. Can I still apply?
Yes, as long as you’re willing to register as self‑employed before or shortly after starting work and handle your own tax/NI responsibilities.


Expert Analysis

This opportunity is excellent for experienced cleaners seeking autonomy and flexible earnings. The app reduces admin and client‑finding, but income is variable and you must factor in travel, supplies and self‑employment tax. It’s best suited to organised, self‑motivated people comfortable running their own mini‑business.


Location & Logistics Guide

Work is in and around Leeds, so living locally and planning efficient routes is key. You’ll benefit from quick access across the city via bus, train or car. Concentrating on nearby postcodes can reduce travel time and costs. City overview and route planning:

Career Path

Starting as a self‑employed cleaner, you can grow a regular client base through the platform, then expand into premium or specialist cleaning (e.g. end‑of‑tenancy, deep cleans). Over time you might build a small team, move into supervision or even create your own independent cleaning business beyond the app.
