About the role

At a glance, your role is to clean all areas of the pub thoroughly, with the aim of enhancing the customer experience by having excellent standards of cleanliness at all times.

Our pubs open early and close late, so we offer great flexibility with shift patterns, including mornings, evenings, weekends and late finishes.

The ideal applicant

We’re looking for fun, enthusiastic, passionate people to join our hard-working teams. No experience is needed, just a good attitude, a willingness to learn and a calm head under pressure. As a UK Top Employer with an award-winning training programme, we know that we can teach you the skills you’ll need to succeed.

Whether you’re looking for a long-term career or just some extra shifts, if you’re reliable, friendly and love working as part of a team – this role could be perfect for you.

What you can expect:   
• competitive rate of pay
• a free meal and a drink, when working
• 20% discount on all food, drinks and hotel accommodation (for you and up to three guests), when not working
• £1 extra per hour, for hours worked during midnight–5.59am
• bonus scheme – earn up to 19% of your pay
• availability of guaranteed-hours contracts and variable-hours contracts
• paid holiday
• free shares (after a qualifying period)
• loyalty reward scheme

Duties include:

• maintaining cleanliness in all areas: customer areas, toilets, bar, kitchen, staff areas and outside spaces
• completing daily, weekly and monthly cleaning tasks, following standard operating procedures
• following correct procedures when using cleaning chemicals and equipment
• monitoring cleaning supplies and notifying the manager when more are needed
• reporting all maintenance and pest-management issues to the manager on duty
• interacting politely with customers – greeting them, saying ‘thank you’ and ‘goodbye’
• completing required induction, role-specific and ongoing refresher training and contributing to continuous improvement

Essential requirements

All of the training which we provide will teach you everything you need to know to succeed, but there are a few essential requirements you’ll need to start:
• Have a proof of right to work
• Have a bank account in your own name
• Be able to converse in English and to understand the language to complete training and other duties associated with your job role.
• Have a fixed place of residence within reasonable travelling distance of your place of work.
• Basic computer literacy

Progression and development

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 with:
• 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.

When you’re at work, we want you to feel comfortable being yourself. Whatever your background, preferences or beliefs, we’ll ensure that you have the skills and knowledge you need for a great career with us.
