Now Hiring - Inner South East Melbourne

Cleaning Jobs in Inner South East Melbourne

The inner south east blends premium bayside homes with dense family suburbs. Nest and Nurture Society is hiring experienced cleaners across 24 suburbs from Brighton to Oakleigh, with 50 dollars per hour minimum take-home and 60 dollars per hour on Airbnb cleans.

Why the work is here

The inner south east is two strong cleaning markets in one zone. Along the bay, Brighton, Brighton East and Hampton bring premium homes, demanding standards and steady short-stay demand. Inland, Bentleigh, Carnegie, Caulfield, Murrumbeena and Oakleigh bring dense, established family suburbs with a constant need for recurring maintenance cleaning. For an experienced cleaner, that mix means both high-rate premium jobs and a reliable base of weekly recurring work, all in one patch.

The suburbs also sit close together, so a cleaner can build a full day of bookings without long drives between jobs. Less time on the road, more time earning.

Nest and Nurture Society is hiring across the inner south east zone now. You clean. We handle the customers, the bookings, the payments and the disputes.

The cleaning work in this zone

Airbnb and short-stay cleaning

The inner south east has steady short-stay demand, concentrated along the bayside strip through Brighton and Hampton and around Elsternwick, Caulfield and Ripponlea. Airbnb cleaning is some of the best-paid work on the system, and also the most demanding. These are high-standard cleans against a tight checkout-to-check-in window, so we pay a minimum of 60 dollars per hour take-home to experienced cleaners who can deliver that standard.

• +Minimum take-home of 60 dollars per hour, with a 2 hour minimum booking.
• +The clock starts on arrival. Building and property access must be arranged in advance.
• +Our cleaners will not let early guests in. Management ensures guests are out on time.
• +Bed making is charged separately, per bed, and adds time to the job.
• +Linen is supplied by the client. We leave linen bags in the designated area. We are a cleaning service, not a linen service.
• +Our cleaners refill supplied stock items. They do not create shortage lists. Cleaning is the job.

We protect our cleaners on these jobs. The clock starts when the cleaner arrives, so waiting on late guests is the manager responsibility, not unpaid time for the cleaner.

Why these are high-rate jobs

The pay is well above award rates because the work is held to a high standard. Nest and Nurture Society only takes on qualified, experienced cleaners, and every job runs through a structured operator system that proves the work was done properly.

• +GPS confirms arrival. The cleaner taps Arrived, then takes before photos.
• +After photos must match the before photos before the job is marked Complete.
• +No before or after photos means the job is incomplete and is not paid.
• +Every service has a checklist. Photo proof protects the cleaner if a complaint is raised.
• +A three-strike policy keeps the standard consistent. Strike one is a warning, strike two is a seven-day suspension, strike three is removal from the rotation.

What you need to apply

This is experienced work, so the requirements are real. To apply as a Standard cleaner you need cleaning experience, an ABN, a current police check, public liability insurance, a car and a smartphone.

The Family Certified track adds a Working With Children Check and a current whooping cough booster. It unlocks postpartum and family-home work, the highest-paying jobs on the system, and there is strong demand for it across the inner south east family suburbs.
