Keep London’s Busiest Station Spotless. Make a Real Impact Every Day!

Step into a role where you’ll feel proud of your work every shift. You’ll be at one of the UK’s most iconic stations, ensuring trains and platforms are clean, welcoming, and ready for passengers. If you enjoy staying active, taking pride in attention to detail, and want a fast-paced, hands‑on role, this could be the perfect opportunity.

The Role and About You

In this role, you will gain the opportunity to work across multiple areas of train cleaning, providing variety and hands‑on experience every day. 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.

You will also carry out in‑transit cleaning on trains traveling between London and Leicester. Working on trains in service gives you a dynamic and engaging environment where you can actively contribute to keeping carriages clean while passengers travel. You will manage litter removal during the journey and ensure waste is disposed of correctly upon arrival, developing your skills in maintaining high standards under time‑sensitive conditions.

Additionally, you will be involved in deep and heavy cleaning at Cricklewood Sidings, giving you the chance to gain experience in more intensive cleaning tasks.

This role is ideal for candidates who 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.
