If you have been hoping for a stable job where you can grow and be part of a trusted retail brand, this could be the opening you’ve been waiting for.

A Role That Keeps the Store Running Smoothly

Many people underestimate how important store cleaners are, but the truth is that no retail store can function without a clean and safe environment. At Dis-Chem, cleanliness is more than just sweeping floors. It is about creating a space where customers feel welcome, where workers can do their jobs well, and where everyone stays safe.

As a Store Cleaner at the Jumbo Mall branch, you will be responsible for keeping the store neat, fresh, and ready for customers every day. This includes taking care of the store floor, dispensary area, admin office, stock room, and even the staff canteen. If you take pride in your work and enjoy seeing the results of your effort, this job is perfect for you.

What You Will Be Doing Each Day

This position requires someone who can work hard, move around a lot, and stay focused even when the store gets busy. You will be part of a strong team that helps keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Daily Cleaning and Store Care

You will need to make sure the store is spotless before it even opens. This means early cleaning routines, paying attention to every corner, and keeping high hygiene standards that match Dis-Chem’s reputation.

Your tasks include:

• Cleaning the entire shop floor and common areas daily
• Keeping the bathrooms and canteen clean and fully stocked
• Making sure the restrooms always have enough toilet paper, soap, and cleaning supplies
• Checking for spills or mess during trading hours and cleaning them immediately
• Using the right cleaning tools and products for each job
• Putting out wet-floor signs every time you clean, for safety

These simple but important steps help prevent accidents and give customers a better shopping experience.
