Crime scene cleaner

Crime scene cleaners clean and decontaminate sites after deaths, crimes, and traumatic events. The work is physically and emotionally demanding: cleaning and disinfecting hazardous biological material, removing and disposing of contaminated items safely, and restoring sites, all while handling the difficult nature of the scenes.

They work for specialised remediation companies. The role suits resilient, meticulous, compassionate people who can handle distressing and hazardous work, follow strict safety and disposal procedures, work discreetly and respectfully for affected families, and combine the physical and biohazard skills with the emotional steadiness that this difficult, important work requires.
