1. Tell us a bit about yourself<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My name is Carol, I\u2019m a mother of three with five grandkids. I\u2019ve tried many jobs, some of them self-employed, but I\u2019ve always come back to cleaning. I like DIY, crochet, and crafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What do you enjoy about the job and why do you think good cleaning is so important?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I am a Supervisor here at Tidy Green Clean. Before I worked for TGC, I worked for another cleaning company but it wasn\u2019t a great atmosphere there and people didn\u2019t show up for work and so I got out. My friend had seen a post from Faith on Facebook and she sent it to me. I actually find this job so straightforward and therapeutic compared to what I\u2019ve done in the past. I enjoy it, I wasn\u2019t sure if I would because it\u2019s housekeeping, but I can walk away and I can come back in an hour\u2019s time and the room is still tidy so there\u2019s a lot of job satisfaction. I don\u2019t find this hard work; even my son said he can see a difference in me since  I started here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve got a good team; all the girls are great and I find it so rewarding. I take great pride in my work and I like things done properly; I am a bit OCD and want things to be just so. I love this job; it\u2019s the best career change I\u2019ve ever done. I love the fact they don\u2019t use harsh chemicals for cleaning. They\u2019re environmentally friendly. I have psoriasis, which means I have very sensitive skin and we do wear gloves but this generally is so much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How long have you worked for TGC Highlands & Moray? Why did you choose us and what do you enjoy about the challenges of a supervisory role?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I joined in May 2022 and I actually like being a supervisor \u2013 I was, years ago in my early thirties and although this is different – that was cleaning schools \u2013 this is hotels \u2013 it\u2019s great. I would never ask anyone to do a job I\u2019m not prepared to do and I have a good rapport with the girls because of that. They can come to me with any problems, I am quite an easy person to get on with, I don\u2019t shout and I take them aside if there are any issues. I understand we\u2019re all human and we can miss things but I also am firm and get things sorted so that they\u2019re aware if there\u2019s something that needs to improve. There\u2019s no point shouting or being angry with people, I want them to come to me to tell me things so we can fix it or ask questions if they\u2019re not sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Why are Tidy Green Clean\u2019s values about people and the environment important to you?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well I like the fact that they don\u2019t use harsh chemicals, and do use things good for the environment. I like to recycle and do my bit and I don\u2019t like waste. I\u2019m quite on it in that way. I like the way they have those same values, and so we\u2019re not hurting the ocean, the fish, the birds. I like the fact their products are good for the environment and they have that long-term effect. They\u2019re carbon negative as well, which is amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. What would you like to see happen in the future for you at TGC?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve not thought that far! I\u2019m still trying to do a good job as a supervisor. I love what I do. I would like to have a Team Leader under me \u2013 and I think these things will come. Faith says I do a grand job and that\u2019s good. I am training other people to do what I do \u2013 and even on my day off I am just at the end of the phone if they need me. I am very organised; I like to know where everything is \u2013 so I can always help them. And it works, they do phone me. I have an eye for detail and so I know where everything is \u2013 I keep lists for everything and mark off what it is when I\u2019ve done it. I would like more responsibility as we grow, and that will come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
