The Role and About You
As a Night Shift Train Cleaner, you will play a vital role in preparing trains for service ahead of the morning rush. Working within a busy depot environment, you will be responsible for ensuring trains meet high standards of cleanliness, presentation and safety before they return to operation. Your duties will include exterior cleaning of train carriages, removing graffiti and dirt by using specialist cleaning solutions and equipment.

This is a safety-critical role where reliability, attention to detail and a strong work ethic are essential. You will need to be comfortable working nights in a fast-paced operational environment and be able to follow strict safety procedures at all times. Full training and safety briefings will be provided from day one to ensure you feel confident and supported in your role.

The shift pattern runs Monday to Saturday from 22:30pm to 05:30am and Sunday from 22:00pm to 06:00am, averaging around 35 hours per week. Overtime is available, including rest days and Sundays at enhanced rates. There may be periods of up to 13 consecutive working days followed by extended rest breaks, allowing you to maximise both earnings and time off. Flexibility to support additional shifts when required will be advantageous.
