London St Pancras International Station
£14.80 per hour based on a 35-hour week, with overtime paid at £15.38 per hour. The position starts on an initial 6-month contract with strong potential to become permanent depending on performance and business needs.
Step into a role where your work keeps one of London s busiest stations clean, safe, and moving every single day!
The Role and About You
In this role, you will gain the opportunity to work across multiple areas of train cleaning, providing variety and hands-on experience every day. At St Pancras Station, you will be responsible for turnaround cleaning, ensuring that trains are spotless as passengers depart and before new passengers board. This includes maintaining clean toilets, removing rubbish, sanitising high-touch areas, and restocking essential supplies. This aspect of the role allows you to see the immediate impact of your work and take pride in creating a welcoming environment for passengers.
You will also carry out in-transit cleaning on trains traveling between London and Leicester. Working on trains in service gives you a dynamic and engaging environment where you can actively contribute to keeping carriages clean while passengers travel. You will manage litter removal during the journey and ensure waste is disposed of correctly upon arrival, developing your skills in maintaining high standards under time-sensitive conditions.
Additionally, you will be involved in deep and heavy cleaning at Cricklewood Sidings, giving you the chance to gain experience in more intensive cleaning tasks.
This role is ideal for candidates who enjoy hands-on, physically active work and take pride in maintaining high standards of cleanliness. You will thrive if you are motivated by detail, able to work efficiently in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment, and flexible in covering shifts as required. Previous experience in transport, industrial, or housekeeping cleaning will help you quickly adapt and excel, but the position also offers the chance to develop and strengthen these skills further.
