What do we need from you?
- Strong attention to detail: As Night Security & Cleaning Assistant, you must have a keen eye for detail to ensure that all areas of the property are clean and presentable.

- Ability to work overnight shifts: It goes without saying, but you must be able to work late-night and early-morning shifts as the role typically involves working during the night-time hours.
