Hear from the Home Assistant Community
“This role reflects the person that I am”
Working with Family Clean for over 6 months and still counting, has been quite an amazing experience. I find this role fulfilling as it reflects the person that I am – being able to help families and busy individuals gives me joy. What I love about the Family Clean staff, is their support system. The staff, in general, are wonderful. They check in from time to time. For me, that says a whole lot about the company. – Sara A. RANDWICK, SYD
“As a full time student…”
As a full time student, you could schedule your work appointments according to your university time table which helps in focusing in our studies while working. Good customers and cleaning experience with excellent flexibility in working hours. – Daniel S. MAROUBRA, SYD
“This is the first time I felt compelled to recommended a role to a friend! Very pleased!“
The work is plentiful and the clients have been wonderful to work with. The system they have is easy to use and they have tons of support to offer. I took this role on as an international student and the ability to create my own schedule week by week has been a huge plus. I had no experience in this industry, outside of being tidy at home and enjoy cleaning, which translated perfectly for this type of work. They offer excellent incentives and are very easy to communicate with. I would recommend this role to anyone seeking a role with good pay, great flexibility, and a strong support team. – Gail S. PROSPECT, ADL

Family Clean is a professional organisation with friendly and supportive management. Family Clean fosters a great work/life balance and has measures in place to ensure it is readily achievable. As a cleaner you have the flexibility to pick and chose your clients and work hours. – Jade B. REID, CBR
