Cleaning Team Leader – Based at Carlisle Station

Day Shift Role

6-month initial contract with the opportunity to join on a permanent basis

£12.73p/h

We are working with one of the largest UK Train Operating Companies (currently operating 464 stations, the most of any TOC in the UK), who are seeking to recruit a Train Cleaning Team Leader to join the train cleaning team based at Carlise Station.

The company covers the whole of the North, which includes the North East & West of England, Yorkshire and the Humber, as well as the occasional part of the East Midlands and Staffordshire. As a result of this, they have a large fleet of trains – 333 to be precise, so it's safe to say you will be active & busy with your role!

Ganymede are looking to hire someone with a ‘go getter’ attitude who isn’t afraid to get stuck in and can lead a team by example.

The Role:

The role itself is that of a Train Cleaning Team Leader. This means that you will be leading a team of 2x operatives at any one time in the cleaning of a train, as well as issuing jobs on the worksheet, audits, and liaising with the Train Presentation Supervisor.

Standard duties include interior cleaning, hoovering the floors, inspecting/maintaining toilets, etc. For this role, my client is seeking a candidate that can ‘lead from the front’ and be an example to the other cleaners in how to carry out their duties.

The role is focused on Turnaround Cleaning, meaning that the train must be sanitised & clean for passenger usage, as the trains will be going back out into service directly after you and your team finished. Typically, you get 15-minute walk throughs to carry out these duties.

The Hours:

You will need to be flexible for the shift pattern, which consists of either 3 on 3 off or 2 on 2 off, working the hours from 09:00am – 19:00pm

Remuneration & Benefits:

Upon joining this position, you will receive the following:

£12.73p/h

Progression routes – Our client is hiring into their business on a permanent basis after an initial phase on a 6-month contract. Once permanent you will then receive opportunities to further progress your career in a range of positions such as train presentation, engineering, customer service and more. The additional benefits include free travel on their network, discounted travel on a range of train operating companies and more.

Requirements:

Be able to commute to Newcastle for the medical and D&A then also for the 2/3-day training course

Be able to pass a Drugs & Alcohol test

Be able to pass a full rail medical – this will include, sight, hearing, colourisation, heart, lungs, brain, etc

Be Computer literate – Microsoft Office, Emails, etc

Previous Supervisory/Team Lead experience necessary - this does NOT have to be rail based.

Provide your Right to Work documents before deployment

Happy to help mentality/attitude

A good level fitness is needed as the role is very hands on and you will be on your feet most of the shift
