The Role and About You
This is a practical, active position where your contribution has a direct impact every shift. As a Night Shift Train Cleaner, you’ll be responsible for preparing trains for daily service by maintaining high cleaning standards throughout the depot.
Your duties will include internal and external graffiti removal, vacuuming and mopping floors, sanitising high-contact areas, carrying out deep cleans within train carriages, cleaning and servicing train toilets, and ensuring all areas of the train are presented to the highest possible standard. The role is varied and physical, offering a rewarding environment where you can see the results of your work at the end of every shift.
The busiest period of the shift is typically between midnight and 3:00am, requiring a strong team ethic and the ability to work efficiently within tight turnaround times.
You will be a reliable individual with a strong work ethic, good attention to detail, and a positive attitude toward maintaining a clean and safe environment. Previous experience within transport cleaning, industrial cleaning, or housekeeping would be beneficial, although full training and PPE will be provided.
The shift pattern operates on a 7-day running roster from 20:30pm to 04:30am, Sunday to Saturday, with an average working week of 35 hours. There are opportunities for overtime, and during busy periods employees may work up to 13 consecutive night shifts if overtime is taken. The role offers excellent earning potential alongside longer-term career progression opportunities. The role will begin as soon as the successful candidate is available but the sooner the better.
The Company
You'll be working with Thameslink Southern and Great Northern (TSGN), one of the UK's largest rail operators, helping deliver vital transport services across London, the South East, and the South Coast. Their trains support millions of passenger journeys each year, and the cleaning team plays an essential role in ensuring customers travel in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment.
The company places a strong emphasis on safety, employee development, and continuous improvement, making this a great opportunity to join a respected and growing organisation.
