Day Shift Train Cleaner

Play a key role behind the scenes keeping trains clean, safe, and ready for service across the North!

The Role and About You

We are looking for reliable and motivated individuals to join our Day Shift Train Presentation team at Manchester Victoria Station. This is a great opportunity to work in one of the UK’s busiest rail environments, ensuring trains are clean, safe, and ready for passengers throughout the day.

Day shifts run from 08:00am to 18:00pm on a Sunday-to-Saturday rota, following a 4 days on, 4 days off pattern.

The role involves quick turnaround cleaning within tight timeframes, including emptying bins, cleaning toilets, and removing debris from tables. Where trains are on stand for longer, you will carry out full interior cleaning using specialist equipment such as mops, vacuums, cloths, and cleaning solutions. Tasks are allocated during a morning briefing with the Team Leader and recorded via a work app, so basic IT skills are required.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role that requires a good level of physical fitness and the ability to work on your feet throughout the shift. You’ll need to be able to work independently, maintain high standards, and follow safety procedures at all times.

We’re looking for candidates with a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and flexibility to adapt to changing demands. Previous experience in cleaning (transport, industrial, housekeeping or similar) is beneficial, but full training will be provided.
