The Role and About You

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.

In this role, you’ll also carry out onboard cleaning duties on trains operating between London and Leicester. Working in a live passenger environment offers a varied and fast-paced experience, allowing you to play a key role in maintaining clean, comfortable carriages throughout each journey. Your responsibilities will include collecting and removing litter during service, ensuring waste is disposed of correctly at designated locations, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness within tight turnaround times.

In addition, you’ll take part in deep-cleaning activities at Cricklewood Sidings, where you’ll gain hands-on experience in more intensive cleaning operations. This provides an excellent opportunity to broaden your skills and contribute to the overall presentation and upkeep of the fleet.

You should 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.
