Would anyone be able to put up a job description I could play around with?

Or email it to me: info@lionsoflondon.co.uk

I think mine might be too short.

Maybe show us what you've got and we could give some advice on what needs to be added or removed

not knowing neighbours are watching ready to grass you up .       these customers are your cash cows .    id love to be able to  have someone working  with me  who i can leave to  leave a finish to the same as my level .  Some will cut corners  if they have   worked before as a window cleaner ,Cleaning to how they do it .  May not be to your standard .

After your recent post on not being able to clean with cold I found this funny.

I had a period of about 5 years with virtually zero turnover. Then this year I hired and lost 4. One was stealing, one turned out to be a gambling addict and one has just been convicted of child pornography. All except one was sacked.

But it was in the period where I’d eased the reins and let someone else run day to day. Since then I’ve recruited three. Two seem good two months in and one left after two weeks. His replacement starts next week.

The key thing is a proper sit down interview questioning closely claimed work experience. We have used indeed for about two years.

But staff can be stressful like any aspect of running a business.

Zero turnover sounds like a bad 5 years

What sort of dedicated person are you going to get for 2 days a week - really try thinking from the employees point of view - if you rent/mortgage + kids your not going to risk it on 2 days a week, or some 1 week silly trial - some of seem scared to offer a decent package.

Simon- yes I understand Bristol is more than likely 15x the area I work in

Believe it or not the above type as I describe although they don’t have a pot to P**s in will think I’m not working for that and they will be thinking lol,you’d be better off looking around for someone that knows a hardworking person that needs a chance.
In my experience an advert for a window cleaner attracts the dross of society that think it’s money for very little work about 5 hours a day,like I’ve said don’t think an advert is always the way to go people that have had success this way have been very lucky.

Exactly. Some can’t clean a piece of glass with cold water. Imagine that!

Depression and window cleaning comes with employing most of the time,you choose the hours you work you choose how much you want to charge.
If you are feeling depressed I wouldn’t say employing is the way to go at this time,people I’ve had in the past have ended  up trying to make their problems mine is that what you want at the moment.
If truth be told the so called big employers on here have had nothing but ball ache and it’ll mostly be from people that work for them,the actual window cleaning side is the simple bit you are replicating 1 route of work in the same or another area x1x2x3 and so on.

[Smudger]

Jay - that's not an overly bad advert - a bit confusing maybe

Full time - so what is full time? ( 30 hrs, 35 hrs, 48 hrs )

£9 an hour is minimum wage - how does that compare generally in your area ( here 60% of jobs are not only minimum wage but also seasonal - but I still offer over minimum )

Also it looks like your stuck on £9 p/h - I would change it to -initially £9 p/h while training ( 1 month ) with OTE rising to £10.50 (or whatever)

Forget the money side of it if you get the wrong type of people it won’t matter what you pay them,most window cleaners I know that work for people have only stopped swinging in the trees in the last year 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is a great video about employees and creating a company they want to work for.

Yeah but building the business with employees is the depressing bit and at this moment he’s feeling depressed so is employing a good move,I wouldn’t be advising someone that’s depressed to be voluntarily taking on more hassle would you.
