Train Cleaner - Part Time (Day Shifts)

As a Train Presentation Operative, you will play a vital role in offering a spotlessly clean train and a welcoming environment for all our customers. Our station, depot, and on-board train cleaning teams, have pride in the service we deliver for our customers and colleagues, and we always strive for excellence.
Our trains and stations operate 7 days a week and we complete four different types of cleans within our teams in 24 hours, so it can be more difficult than you may think, you'll quickly hit that 10,000 step goal.
Day to day you will be cleaning our trains to ensure we continually deliver a hygienic, functioning, and welcoming environment for our customers. You don’t necessarily need cleaning experience, as we will teach you everything you need to know. The initial training is 1-5 days in the classroom (dependent on location) followed by practical and on the job training working with the cleaning team.
If this sounds like your thing, we’d love to hear from you.
Key responsibilities:
This is a varied and challenging role, but here is a taste of what your day-to-day activities could include:

• Removing litter and emptying bins
• Cleaning tables, windows, and touch points
• Topping up replenishables in the toilets such as soap
• It could also include dealing with any significant cleaning issues, which otherwise left untreated could cause a train service to be cancelled, such as blood or vomit spills.

About you:
We are looking for reliable and hardworking individuals to fulfil this role. You will be willing to work outside, as well as on board our trains, throughout the year. You will also be flexible enough to deal with ever-changing demands. We teach you everything you need to know so you don’t necessarily need any previous cleaning experience.
