How it works

From one application to suitable work allocation.

Cleaning Jobs gives suitable cleaners a single, structured pathway into Spruce-standard cleaning work. Here’s what each stage involves.

The pathway

Five clear stages.

One application is reviewed once. Suitable applicants then move through onboarding, training, and standards before any work is considered, so you always know what stage you’re at.

Work is never guaranteed. Allocation depends on demand, suitability, availability, and certification.

01

Apply online

One short application. Tell us your location, experience, transport, and the cleaning work you’re suited for. It takes a few minutes.

02

We review your application

Every application is reviewed individually against current demand and suitability. We’ll contact you if there’s a suitable next step.

03

Complete verification

Right-to-work confirmation and basic checks, completed once as part of onboarding.

04

Train or certify to the Spruce standard

Short onboarding and role-based training or assessment against the Spruce standard, using the same checklists and expectations used across the network.

05

Eligible for suitable work allocation

Once certified, you’re considered for suitable work based on location, demand, availability, and certification.

Before you apply

What you’ll need.

Most of this is confirmed during onboarding.

You don’t need everything ready to apply, but these help, and we’ll ask about your situation in the application.

After you’re eligible

How work is allocated

Being eligible means you’re considered for suitable work, not that work is guaranteed. The mix and amount of work depend on what’s happening in your area.

Work is not guaranteed. Allocation depends on demand, suitability, availability, and certification, and the available work types vary by location.
