The Role & About You
As a Night Shift Train Cleaner at Eastbourne Depot, you will play an essential role in preparing trains for service, ensuring passengers travel in a clean, safe and welcoming environment. This is a hands-on, active position where you can take pride in seeing the immediate results of your work at the end of every shift.
You will be responsible for interior train cleaning tasks such as vacuuming, mopping, sanitising surfaces and completing deep cleans. You will work both independently and as part of a team, staying engaged and active throughout the night while maintaining high standards of hygiene and presentation. Full training and PPE will be provided, alongside ongoing support from experienced colleagues.
This role suits individuals who are reliable, motivated and take pride in their work. Previous experience in cleaning, housekeeping or transport environments is beneficial but not essential, as full training is provided. Flexibility is important, as additional shifts and overtime may be available.
You will work night shifts on a rotating 7-day roster from 21:30pm to 05:00am, averaging 35 hours per week. There will be opportunities to increase earnings through overtime and rest day working, and at times you may be rostered for longer stretches of up to 13 consecutive days, followed by rest periods.
Pay rates include £15.19 per hour for standard hours, £18.22 per hour for overtime, £19.74 per hour for rest days and £22.02 per hour for Sunday shifts.
The Company
You will be working on behalf of one of the UK’s leading train operating companies, providing vital services across London and the South East. Their operations connect millions of passengers to work, family and leisure every day, making them a key part of the region’s transport network.
The organisation is committed to safety, service excellence and continuous improvement, investing in modern fleets and in the people who keep them running.
