The Role:
The Mobile Train Cleaner role will cover all aspects of graffiti cleaning on the interior and exterior of the trains. As well as this, you will be expected to carry out deep cleans on the interior of the trains when there is no graffiti to clean.
Deep cleans consist of hoovering, dusting, mopping, buffering, cleaning/restocking toilets, litter picking and changing of the bins.
This is a reactive role, meaning that you will be responding to graffiti/deep clean reports on the day, across multiple depots, outstations and train stations in the North.

They boast a loyal and hard-working team who strive for excellence in the services they provide to millions of commuters who use their trains. This is a role with a well-established brand who promote a great culture and offer employee development as standard.
Pay Rate & Benefits:
The pay rate for the Mobile Train Cleaner position will be at £12.60 per hour on an initial 6-month basis.
