The Role & About You

As a Night Shift Train Cleaner, you will be responsible for preparing trains for service, ensuring passengers start their journeys in a clean, safe and welcoming environment. This is a hands-on, active role where your work makes a visible and immediate difference to customer experience across London and the South East.

The average working week is 35 hours, with opportunities to increase earnings through overtime and rest day working. At times, you may be rostered for longer runs of up to 13 consecutive days, followed by rest periods.

Pay rates include £15.34 per hour standard rate, £18.41 per hour overtime, £19.94 per hour for rest days and £22.24 per hour on Sundays.

The Company

You will be working on behalf of one of the UK’s leading train operating companies, providing vital services across London and the South East. Their operations connect millions of passengers to work, family and leisure every day, making them a key part of the region’s transport network.
