Do you think my experience is enough to say that I "have experience"......

with regards to a job with this description

"Experience would be an advantage, but is not essential. Duties will involve general cleaning within a school, to include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, polishing, emptying bins, cleaning toilets and any other related tasks as required."

When I worked as a Care Assistants (nights). My jobs included

Hoovering the lounge and dining room
Dusting in the dining room
Emptying the bins in there
Cleaning the bathrooms (which were gross at times given most of the residents were either incontinent and/or had dementia)
We also had to "clean as we went" - when getting residents up we had to take dirty pads etc out of the room with us and dispose of them properly.

Occasionally had to pop the kitchen floor (usually in winter when it was wet outside as that was the main "entrance" for the staff!).

Also expected to leave residents rooms neat and tidy when we'd finished dressing them in the mornings.....

Does that count as "experience"...

Absolutely! That is a lot of experience - put it down...!

that should of course say mop the kitchen floor - not "pop" .

I've not got the application form yet - but I'm quite excited at this - is appeared today on the Jobcentre Plus website - and it fits my requirements perfectly

mornings, term time only, I'd finish in time to pick DS2 up from nursery - so if DH needs to dash off in the mornings for meetings etc it wouldn't matter (and nursery is on the way home from the place), fairly local, pays enough (a little more would make things slightly more comfortable but hey you can't have your cake and eat it......)

Think I'll give them a ring in the morning....

Says you can ring any time - but between 6am-2pm the named contact will actually be there to speak too.......may ring when I get up with DS3 first thing tomorrow morning.....at least it'll show that I'm an early riser LOL.
