The York Dungeon are currently on the lookout for a Weekend Custodian / Cleaner. The Displays and Cleaning team are a vital ingredient in the guest experience and so we’re looking for someone who strives for the best and isn't afraid to get stuck in!
What you'll be doing...
- You will be responsible for ensuring that the attraction is litter free, clean, hygienic and presentable for our guests.

- The role will include some periodic facilities checks, and use and handling of cleaning products (for which full training will be provided).
- You'll be responsible for ensuring any health, safety or technical issues are reported promptly to the attraction Duty Manager.
We're looking for someone who works to a high standard with great attention to detail - able to work independently and use their initiative!
