Lead a dedicated night shift cleaning team and make a real impact on passengers’ daily journeys!
The Role and About You
As a Night Shift Train Cleaning Team Leader, you’ll be responsible for leading a hardworking team to maintain the highest cleanliness standards across the depot trains. You’ll assign tasks, conduct audits, and support your team while also getting hands-on with train interiors, toilet sanitation, and CET tank disposal. You should have experience in cleaning, ideally in a vehicle, industrial, or domestic environment, and previous team leader experience is a plus. Strong leadership, attention to detail, and effective communication are key, and you should be comfortable working night shifts from 20:00pm to 06:00am in a 4-on 5-off rotation followed by 5-on 4-off. A medical, drug, and alcohol test is required for this safety-critical role.
This role offers more than just employment; it’s a chance to lead a team, develop your skills, and play a vital role in providing a safe and clean environment for millions of passengers. The initial 6-month contract provides the potential to secure a permanent position, with training provided in depot protection, site safety, and cleaning techniques.
The Company
You’ll be part of a growing train network in the North, committed to excellent service, innovation, and employee development. The team is supportive, safety-focused, and plays a key role in providing a clean, safe, and efficient service to passengers across the region. With opportunities for progression and structured training, this is a great environment for anyone looking to build their career in rail operations.
