Almost one in four people are planning on leaving their current roles in the next few months. Dubbed ‘The Great Resignation’, the after-effects of the two-year-long COVID-19 pandemic are beginning to show. People feel burnt out, are seeking better opportunities for work-life balance and want to work for employers who value them.
However, finding those greener pastures can be tricky. But we have the perfect solution for you – come and work for Mrs Buckét!
Mrs Buckét is not your average commercial cleaning business. We’re fresh and we’re fun, but most importantly, we look after our people. We want our 250-strong team to enjoy being a part of the Mrs B family, so we work to a “people first” philosophy – after all a happy team ensures happy customers!
Here are 12 reasons why we might be the perfect fit for you:
We do things a little differently at Mrs Buckét. We understand that it’s important to most people that they find an employer that works for them. During the initial process of getting to know each other, we want you to interview us, instead of the other way around. We want to ensure that how we work and what we believe in resonates with you.
Whatever your background or skills, you’ve got every chance of being the perfect fit for Mrs Buckét. All we ask from our team members is care, commitment, motivation, and passion. If you’re ready to learn and want to make a difference to your community, then this could certainly be the job for you.
We understand that not everyone wants, or can have, a traditional Monday to Friday, nine-to-five job, and that’s why we pride ourselves on being a truly flexible employer. Whether you’re looking for a full-time role or just a few hours a week, whether you’re a night owl or an early riser, we will have something to fit around your lifestyle.
Bobbie is one of our much-loved, brilliant cleaning technicians. Here’s what she has to say about a typical day for her with Mrs Buckét:
“On a typical day, I’d start cleaning at 11am for S4C, then later at 5pm I’d move on to clean at TFP Schemes. On some days I also work at Brewin Dolphin, Stride and Legalinx, and I love the variety of clients we get.”
At the end of her shift, there’s always a kind word to be said and a cup of tea with the team to be had. Bobbie takes huge satisfaction from her work and feels supported at all times.
Everyone at Mrs Buckét believes that cleaners are an integral part of any business’s team. We are the reason that clients have safe environments that they can be proud of. We know that for a long time, cleaners have been undervalued, but we’re not prepared to stand for this.
We expect our clients to treat all our team members with respect. We are working towards becoming a Real Living Wage employer and we will always ensure that cleaners have a seat at the table.
We’re also joining the fight for cleaners to become recognised as Key Workers. The sacrifices the industry and its workers make to keep others safe on a daily basis shouldn’t go unnoticed. We’re on your side and want to see this change come into effect so you are celebrated and appreciated by all.
There are plenty of opportunities to progress with Mrs Buckét. If you want to make it big, we’ll help you achieve that goal! Through our brilliant Cleaning Academy, we’ll equip you with all the tools you need to be the best version of yourself. We’ll also help you climb through the ranks and shape your career in a way that works for you.
Take Emma, our Area Manager, for example – she’s held four positions with the business and counting, moving from cleaning technician to Account Manager in just 18 months!
We’ll let Colin say it all here:
“I really like the culture here, because the company comes across to me as one big happy family. Although the work can be demanding and challenging at times, all members of this amazing team – everyone from recruitment, sales, accounts, training, management, mobile colleagues and more – are great at keeping morale up and supporting one another.”
Whether it’s ride-on sanitisers or electrostatic sprayers, state-of-the-art equipment is our forté. We move with the times and always want to be ahead of the game. We invest heavily in modern technology and strive to be the best of the best.
Never a day goes by where our team’s hard work goes unnoticed, and we always want to shout about the brilliant work they do. From the small steps to the big wins, our staff are always appreciated.
Whether it’s a shout out on social media, a team building get together, a prize-packed Christmas raffle, or a £100 bonus for every successful team member referral made, we always celebrate our people and their successes.
As that old saying goes, teamwork makes the dreamwork! We use our collective skills, knowledge, and expertise to ensure the best results are delivered to our clients.
People’s voices are heard at Mrs Buckét. We always want to hear what you have to say. Rachael regularly reaches out to the team to check-in on how they are feeling.
All “feed-forward” (we don’t do feed-back, it’s all about positivity here!) is taken on board and decisions are made with everyone in mind.
Mrs Buckét is an ambitious business. In 2020, our revenues sat at £2.9m. This year we’ve grown this by 55 per cent to £4.5m. By 2025, we’re aiming to be worth £12m.
Our fantastic team have got us where we are today, but we’ll need to grow to hit our future targets. As such, we’re looking for another 100 brilliant new people to join our team in 2022.
