Is there a need to develop NOS at Levels 1 & 3 Cleaning and Support Services?
Asset Skills has recently completed development of new National Occupational Standards (NOS) at Level 2 for cleaning and support services. We are now considering if there is a need to develop NOS at Levels 1 and 3 and need your help to identify the functions which should be included in NOS and possible qualifications at these levels.
The consultation questionnaire can be accessed by clicking here. Responses should be returned to vwilliams@assetskills.org by Friday 25 July.
Do you think you employ the best cleaning team in the country?
Why not put it to the test by entering the 2008 Team Clean Challenge?
The event is open to entrants from any part of the cleaning industry be it healthcare, local authority or contract cleaning.
Entering and winning skills competitions leads to publicity which in turn could open up new business opportunities.
The contest also demonstrates confidence in staff and enables benchmarking against others. There are two entry forms, one for Scotland (click here to download), and one for the rest of the UK (click here to download).
