Night Shift Train Cleaner at Allerton Depot

Night Shift Train Cleaner
Location: Allerton Depot, Liverpool
Pay: £13.05 per hour, plus overtime opportunities
Contract: 6-month initial contract, with potential to go permanent.

Step into a role that opens the door to a career in one of the UK’s most vital and fast-growing industries – the railway sector. As a Night Shift Train Cleaner at Allerton Depot, you will be gaining valuable experience that can lead to future opportunities within rail.

This role is perfect for motivated individuals who enjoy cleaning, take pride in their work, and love seeing the difference they make. Every train you prepare ensures passengers enjoy a clean, safe, and welcoming journey, giving your shifts real purpose and visible impact.

The role:
On the 20:15pm – 05:00am night shifts (4 on 4 off / 5 on 3 off), you will be part of the team that transforms trains overnight, ready for thousands of passengers the next day. Instead of sitting behind a desk, your work keeps you active and hands-on, with every shift bringing visible results. Imagine stepping off shift knowing you have prepared a spotless, safe, and welcoming train that will directly impact people’s journeys the following morning.

You will be joining a close-knit team where no two nights are the same, some evenings it’s about detailed deep cleans, other times it is quick turnarounds to get trains back into service. Either way, you will take pride in knowing your work is essential, appreciated, and makes a difference every single day.

Why this role is exciting:

• Play a vital role in shaping passenger experience by ensuring trains are spotless and ready for service.
• Stay active and engaged with varied cleaning tasks, from vacuuming and mopping to sanitising restrooms and touchpoints, full and deep cleans.
• Gain hands-on experience in the rail industry, a sector offering long-term stability, skills development, and career progression.
• Be part of a supportive team where your effort is recognised and valued.

What helps you shine in this role:

• A keen eye for detail and pride in delivering high standards of cleanliness.
• Reliability, enthusiasm, and the determination to see tasks through.
• Previous experience in transportation cleaning, industrial environments, or housekeeping is helpful but not essential – full training and PPE are provided.
• Physical capability to manage equipment and remain active throughout your shift.

What you will gain:

• Great pay & benefits: £13.05 per hour, with overtime opportunities at management discretion.
• Stability: Opportunity for a permanent role after your initial 6-month contract.
• Career growth: Gain experience in the rail industry, with opportunities to progress into other roles.
• Team spirit: Be part of a supportive group who take pride in their work and celebrate shared success.

The Company:

You will be joining one of the UK’s major train operators, running services across the North of England and connecting communities from city centres to rural towns. Every day, their trains help millions of people get to work, visit family, and enjoy leisure activities, making them an essential part of the region’s transport network.

This is an organisation focused on safety, reliability, and continuous improvement, with ongoing investment in modern fleets and in the people who keep them moving. By joining the team, you will play a part in shaping a greener, more efficient railway for the future.

Employees here value the supportive culture, opportunities to grow, and the satisfaction of making a visible difference every day. With structured training, career development, and the pride of contributing to an essential public service, it is a place where you can build a lasting career in rail.
