Make Your Mark on the Network

We know that first impressions matter and our Train Presentation team plays a crucial role in making sure our customers step onto trains that are clean, welcoming, and ready to go. As a Train Presentation Supervisor, you won't simply oversee cleaning teams  you'll lead from the front, shape standards, and help create an environment where people are proud of their work.

Covering multiple sites, you'll be the person your teams look to for guidance, motivation, and support. You won't be cleaning trains yourself, but you will be a visible, active presence on the ground checking in, solving problems, and making sure everything runs like clockwork. When things go off track, you'll be the calm, confident leader who steps in to put things right.

If you're proactive, people-focused, and ready to take ownership, this role puts you at the heart of delivering the Northern service our passengers rely on.

What You'll Be Doing

Leading, motivating, and organising Train Presentation teams across multiple depots
Being a visible on-site presence checking in with teams, offering support, and ensuring standards are consistently met
Managing rotas, inspections, site visits, and performance checks to keep operations running smoothly
Coaching your team to take pride in their work and continuously improve
Supporting colleagues with different needs, abilities and language skills with patience and encouragement
Using Excel and other digital tools to manage tasks, records and performance
Travelling between sites to support operations across the business when needed
Managing absence, performance, and behaviour including holding challenging but fair conversations
Handling your own administration: diary management, meeting coordination, room bookings, letters and updates, documentation and reports

About You

You're a confident, proactive leader who thrives in a fast-paced operational environment. You know how to bring out the best in people and aren't afraid to step forward when something needs attention.

You will have:

Proven experience supervising or leading teams  ideally in an industrial, operational or fast-paced environment
Strong communication skills, with the ability to support people with varying confidence levels or language needs
The confidence to make decisions, hold people accountable, and set clear expectations
Competence using Microsoft Excel and other digital tools
A calm, structured and solution-focused approach under pressure
A full, clean driving licence held for at least 2 years (essential for insurance purposes)
Basic understanding of health and safety (including COSHH) or a willingness to learn
Experience in train cleaning isn't essential but knowledge of operational, industrial, or behind-the-scenes rail environments is a real advantage.
