Your primary task is to clean all areas of the pub thoroughly, maintaining excellent standards of cleanliness at all times. The pub opens early and closes late, so flexibility across morning, evening, weekend and late finish shifts is provided.

• Using cleaning chemicals and equipment correctly and safely.
• Monitoring cleaning supplies and notifying the manager when more are needed.

Most Wetherspoon team leaders and managers started in the kitchen or behind the bar. If you’re looking to progress, we can support your development through:

• Structured on‑the‑job training.
• Apprenticeships and management academies.
• Cross‑training into other areas (bar, kitchen, hotel).
• Opportunities to progress into team‑leader and shift‑leader roles and beyond.

Wetherspoon promotes an inclusive working environment where everyone is welcome. Whatever your background, preferences or beliefs, we’ll ensure that you have the skills and knowledge you need for a great career with us.

This role may not be suitable for under‑18s because of shift patterns and lone working. Other roles may be available, including front‑of‑house and kitchen roles.

Hours per week: 8 hours (shift pattern varies by day).
