Shearwater Cleaning Site - Getting Started

Getting Started

Login at Shearwater

There is an iPad in the High School North Cleaners Cupboard that is used to log your time.
You must clock in and out there. This is a requirement of your employment.
You will be shown this during your school tour or on your first shifts.
You may receive an email invitation to Jibble - that is the time tracking software. If you want to set up an acocunt, you can view your timelogs there.

Communication

Shift Changes

If you are unable to work a shift within the next 7 days:

Post in the group chat to see if anyone can cover or swap. Remember, we are changing to Google Chats and you need to have a google account and accept the invite we send.
Submit a time-off request via the app (Bottom right-hand corner of the app).

If you are unable to work a shift more than 7 days away:

Submit a time-off request via the app only (no need to post in the group chat).

Maintenance Issues

Post the issue in the group chat - so everyone knows it has been reported and won't re-report it.
Include the specific location/area (e.g., “Kindy East – bathroom tap leaking”).
Photos are very helpful.

Other Issues

Use the group chat or app for general (non-private) issues.
For private or urgent matters, please SMS or call the office on 0451 102 239.
After 5pm, for urgent matters, please call the business owner Al Blanch on 0416 217 628

If you don't have mobile reception at the school

You can use any phone in the school to contact us.

Keys

Keys are located in the Cleaners storage cupboard at the High School, where you sign in.

The key safe must remain locked at all times.
When you take a key, you MUST put your name tag in the missing key slot. This is so that if a key is lost, we know where to star looking.

Lock Codes

You will be shown the codes to access the cupboards when you are onsite. Locks must be scrambled anc closed after opening them so that students don't steal them.

Rostering System

There are around 10-15 cleaning staff working at Shearwater, all doing different shifts in various areas of the school.

The rostering system we use to ensure everyone knows what day, time and place they will be working at, is Findmyshift.

When you are hired we will enter you into the software. Download the app and login with your email address and a password reset.

Minimum Shift

We only work Monday to Friday from 3.30 pm to midnight at the latest, although most people finish between 6.30 pm and 9.00 pm.
Under the Cleaning Services Award, you are entitled to a minimum shift of 3 hours.
If you finish your assigned areas before 3 hours, you will need to find extra things to clean until your minimum shift is over.
Legally, we cannot request that you do a shift shorter than 3 hours, but if for some reason, for your own flexibility, you need to do a shorter shift or work different hours, you can request it.
The maximum shift is 4 hours. Please do not go over the 4-hour shift time, unless there is a special request for you to do so.

Time Off

Naturally, at some point, you will want time off for a holiday or personal reasons.

You can request time off through Findmyshift. Please see the video below to find out how.

Please, if possible, try to give a couple of week's notice for any Time Off you want, to ensure we can cover your shifts. Also, please text or call the Accounts Manager Holly to let her know.
