Rentokil Initial plc

At Rentokil Initial, we pride ourselves on doing the sometimes-invisible work that is essential to protecting people, enhancing lives and preserving our planet. From washrooms, to aged care homes, to office pot plants and classrooms - we’re there, ready, bursting with passion and pride to make a positive difference for our customers and communities.  

No doubt you’ve seen us around. We may be the leading global expert in pest control, hygiene solutions and indoor plant care, but we’re a humble, friendly bunch. What we really think sets us apart is our people. It might sound cliché, but without our people, their expertise and their unwavering energy to face challenges and find new solutions head-on, we wouldn’t be as successful as we are. 

And in the same way we are passionate about making a difference to the lives of our customers and communities, we’re dedicated to providing a place for our people where they feel empowered, supported, and equipped with the skills to thrive. Put simply, we make sure we ‘walk the talk’. Every person has the opportunity to contribute and make a difference – in big ways and small at Rentokil Initial – and we embrace it all.  

Whether you’re a natural-born problem solver looking for a job that provides variety and a sense of autonomy that comes with being on the road; a dedicated worker wanting job stability and reliability; or you’re looking to shape a long, rich, and fulfilling career where the opportunities are limitless - there’s something for everyone at Rentokil Initial.
