Job Description

The Tredyffrin/Easttown School District (TESD), located in Wayne, Pennsylvania, is a respected public school district known for its commitment to providing quality education and fostering a safe, supportive environment for students and staff. TESD embraces a culture of excellence, community engagement, and continual improvement in all its operations. To uphold the highest standards of school safety and maintenance, TESD seeks to hire several dedicated and reliable Custodians to join its facilities team. TESD values individuals who take pride in their work and contribute positively to the school community, ensuring a safe and welcoming atmosphere for students, faculty, staff, and visitors alike.

As a Custodian for TESD, you will play a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and functionality of school buildings and grounds throughout the district. This full-time position offers a competitive hourly wage of $23.75 and comprehensive benefits, including health insurance, dental insurance, vision coverage, life insurance, paid time off, and a retirement plan. The role requires physical endurance and attention to detail to perform various cleaning and maintenance duties, ensuring that all school facilities remain in excellent condition for daily use and special events.

Your responsibilities as a Custodian will include routine cleaning tasks such as dusting, mopping, vacuuming, and disinfecting classrooms, restrooms, kitchens, cafeterias, and common areas according to established protocols. You'll also assist with field preparation for athletic events and participate in exterior maintenance activities like sweeping, pressure washing, and trash removal.

You will be responsible for operating custodial equipment like floor scrubbers and carpet shampoo machines, performing minor repairs such as changing light bulbs, ceiling tiles, and air filters, and ensuring all custodial supplies are well-maintained and stocked.

In addition to day-to-day cleaning, Custodians at TESD are entrusted with securing buildings by opening and closing facilities for their shifts, monitoring safety concerns, and reporting any property damage promptly to supervisors. The role also requires adherence to safety protocols, including the proper use of personal protective equipment. A valid Pennsylvania driver’s license and the ability to climb ladders are mandatory for this position. Health certifications, including a TB test and background checks, are required to ensure a safe environment for the school community.

TESD Custodians work collaboratively with staff and community members, sometimes assisting organizations during extracurricular activities or performing crossing guard duties to cover unexpected absences. This position demands reliability, good communication skills, physical capability, and a positive attitude toward maintaining school facilities in a manner that supports the educational mission of TESD. If you are a hardworking individual who thrives in a team-oriented environment and values contributing to student success through maintaining a clean and safe workspace, TESD encourages you to apply through their official website at www.tesd.net.
