The role

At a glance, your role is to clean all areas of the pub thoroughly, with the aim of enhancing the customer experience by having excellent standards of cleanliness at all times.

Our pubs open early and close late, so we offer great flexibility with shift patterns, including mornings, evenings, weekends and late finishes.

Duties Include

maintaining cleanliness in all areas: customer areas, toilets, bar, kitchen, staff areas and outside spaces
completing daily, weekly and monthly cleaning tasks, following standard operating procedures
following correct procedures when using cleaning chemicals and equipment
monitoring cleaning supplies and notifying the manager when more are needed
reporting all maintenance and pest-management issues to the manager on duty
interacting politely with customers - greeting them, saying `thank you` and `goodbye`
completing required induction, role-specific and ongoing refresher training and contributing to continuous improvement

Progression and development

Most Wetherspoon team leaders and managers started in the kitchen or behind the bar.

If you`re looking to progress, we can support your development with:

structured on-the-job training.
apprenticeships and management academies.
cross-training into other areas (bar, kitchen, hotel).
opportunities to progress into team-leader and shift-leader roles and beyond.

Wetherspoon promotes an inclusive working environment where everyone is welcome.

When you`re at work, we want you to feel comfortable being yourself. Whatever your background, preferences or beliefs, we`ll ensure that you have the skills and knowledge you need for a great career with us.

This role may not be suitable for under-18s because of shift patterns and lone working. There may be other roles available, including front-of-house and kitchen roles.

If a high number of applications is received, this vacancy may close early.
