The essentials

Your part-time cleaning job with Ruiz in Hamburg

ℹ️Current hiring status: Our team of permanently employed cleaners is fully staffed — we are not actively hiring at the moment. Open applications for future openings are always welcome!

As a part-time cleaner at Ruiz Büroreinigung Hamburg, you’re part of a team you can rely on. No faceless corporation, no temp agency work (Leiharbeit), and zero subcontractors. You take charge of your own regular, well-kept office sites in Hamburg (law firms, IT companies, or notary offices) — on a predictable schedule that gives you financial security and a real work-life balance.

You get full social insurance coverage: health, long-term care, pension, and unemployment insurance come standard with every part-time contract. We pay above the collectively agreed wage (Tariflohn), starting at €16.00 an hour, give you full paid vacation, and support our team outside work, too — for example, by actively helping people find an apartment through our contacts at SAGA (Hamburg’s municipal housing company) and Hamburg housing cooperatives, and by lending a hand with paperwork at government offices.

Whether you want a dependable main job or a predictable position that fits around your family, Ruiz offers you on-time pay, ergonomic equipment, and genuine, Hamburg-style appreciation. To find out who’s behind Ruiz, visit our About us page.

Family business

An employer that stands by its team

Ruiz Büroreinigung Hamburg is not a faceless corporation. As an owner-managed family business, we know every employee personally and by name. We’re proud that many of the people who joined us at the very start are still with us today — because we keep our word, pay wages on time, and treat our teams with respect.

Hamburg can be a tough place to get settled, especially when it comes to the housing market and dealing with government offices. We don’t leave our team to deal with that alone: through long-standing contacts at SAGA and Hamburg housing cooperatives, we actively help our colleagues find an apartment (WBS application, tenant self-disclosure form, cover letter). We also stand by them at appointments with government offices.

Our team brings together colleagues from 11 countries. We work in German, Spanish, and English every day — and we look forward to welcoming every new team member who shares our values.

Applicant FAQ

Frequently asked questions about working part-time as a cleaner

Everything you need to know about pay, social insurance, vacation, shifts, and open applications at Ruiz Büroreinigung Hamburg.

Still have a question?

Just call us directly at +49 40 54 814 832 or email jobs@bueroreinigung-ruiz.de.

StatusWhat does “no open positions right now” mean?

Our core team of permanently employed cleaners is fully staffed at the moment. Because we keep growing as we take on new client sites, we welcome every strong open application. We add qualified applicants to our talent pool — and if that’s you, we’ll contact you first as soon as a suitable part-time position opens up.

PayHow much will I earn working part-time at Ruiz Büroreinigung?

You start at €16.00 an hour — more than the €15.00 collectively agreed wage for the commercial cleaning industry, which is generally binding (allgemeinverbindlich) on all employers in the sector. At 20 hours a week, for example, that comes to about €1,390 gross per month. We also pay performance bonuses for especially careful work. Wages are always paid on time at the end of the month.

Social insuranceAm I fully covered by social insurance in a part-time job?

Yes, 100%. The position is regular employment subject to social insurance contributions. You have statutory health, pension, and long-term care insurance, and you’re protected against unemployment. In addition, all employees are covered by accident insurance through BG BAU (Berufsgenossenschaft der Bauwirtschaft), the statutory accident insurance institution for the construction and cleaning trades.

Benefits in kindAre there benefits in kind on top of the hourly wage?

Yes. If agreed, you receive a tax-free voucher card worth up to €50 a month. Under § 8(2) of the German Income Tax Act (EStG), this benefit in kind is completely exempt from tax and social insurance contributions — so it’s 100% net, on top of your pay.

VacationHow much paid vacation do I get as a part-time employee?

You’re entitled to full paid vacation under the building-cleaning trade’s framework collective agreement (Rahmentarifvertrag für das Gebäudereiniger-Handwerk) and the Federal Vacation Act (BUrlG). With a 5-day workweek, that’s 28 to 30 paid vacation days per calendar year. We plan vacations together as a team, fairly and transparently.

ShiftsWhen do I work as a part-time cleaner, and for how long?

Depending on the weekly hours you agree on, you work predictable shifts of 3 to 6 hours — either in the morning before the office opens (from about 6 a.m.) or in the evening after it closes (from about 5 p.m.), Monday through Friday. You only work weekends if you explicitly agree to it.

SiteWill I keep switching work locations?

No. You look after your own regular office or law firm sites in Hamburg and clean them independently on a set schedule. You get to know the premises and the people there well — no constant switching from one location to the next.

ExperienceDo I need previous experience in commercial cleaning?

Experience is welcome but not a must. What counts is thoroughness, reliability, and taking pride in clean work. Every new team member gets comprehensive on-site onboarding and hands-on training with professional equipment (Numatic, Unger) and eco-friendly cleaning products (Dr. Schnell).

SecurityWhy do I need a police clearance certificate?

Our teams clean high-end premises for notary offices, law firms, tax advisors, and IT companies that handle sensitive data. That’s why a clean police clearance and a standard confidentiality agreement (NDA) are mandatory for every employee. We’ll gladly help you apply for the certificate.

LanguagesWhat level of German do I need?

You should understand and speak German at level B1 or higher so you can follow work instructions and cleaning plans with confidence. Since our team brings together colleagues from 11 countries, many team members also speak Spanish or English.

HousingHow does Ruiz help with finding an apartment in Hamburg?

Through long-standing contacts at SAGA and Hamburg housing cooperatives, we actively help our employees find an apartment — with employment verification letters and help with WBS applications and tenant self-disclosure forms.

How to applyHow does the open application process work?

It’s simple: email your résumé and a few lines about yourself to jobs@bueroreinigung-ruiz.de. Let us know your preferred weekly hours (15, 20, 25, or 30 hours) and when you could start. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
