What the job involves

The main aim of this role is to clean all pub areas thoroughly and maintain consistently high standards of cleanliness so customers have a better experience. Because the pubs trade from early morning until late at night, the schedule can include mornings, evenings, weekends, and late finishes.

Day-to-day duties

• Keep customer areas, toilets, the bar, kitchen, staff spaces, and outdoor areas clean and tidy
• Carry out daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning tasks according to standard operating procedures
• Use cleaning products and equipment safely and correctly
• Track cleaning stock and inform the manager when supplies need replenishing
• Escalate maintenance problems and pest-control concerns to the manager on duty
• Interact courteously with customers, including greeting them and saying thank you and goodbye
• Complete induction, job-specific, and ongoing refresher training, while supporting continuous improvement

Development and progression

Wetherspoon says many of its team leaders and managers started in kitchen or bar roles. Training and progression support may include structured on-the-job learning, apprenticeships, management academies, cross-training across bar, kitchen, and hotel areas, and routes into team-leader and shift-leader positions and beyond.

Inclusion and other notes

The employer states that it promotes an inclusive workplace and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds, preferences, and beliefs. The role may not be appropriate for under-18s because of the shift pattern and lone working. If the application volume is high, the vacancy may close earlier than planned. Other roles, such as front-of-house and kitchen positions, may also be available.
