Job Description

Kindred Hospital South Bay is a specialized long-term acute care hospital dedicated to providing extended medical care to patients requiring prolonged recovery. Unlike traditional hospitals that typically offer short-term acute treatment, Kindred Hospital South Bay focuses on patients with chronic illnesses, complex medical conditions, and those who need ongoing clinical and rehabilitative support. Conveniently located near highway 110, close to shopping malls, restaurants, and Recreation Park, the hospital ensures easy access for patients and their families. Kindred Hospital South Bay is staffed by a team of clinical professionals who work collaboratively with the patients' primary care physicians to deliver comprehensive 24-hour care seven days a week. This commitment to continuous care fosters a healing environment that supports patients' journey towards recovery and wellness.

The Environmental Services Worker role at Kindred Hospital South Bay is pivotal in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and sanitary conditions of the hospital. This team member is responsible for thoroughly cleaning and servicing building areas, which include patient rooms, common areas, restrooms, and specialized facilities within the hospital.

The worker is also tasked with moving furniture, equipment, and supplies as needed to support hospital operations, community events, or patient care activities.

Working as an Environmental Services Worker involves daily hands-on duties such as selecting and preparing cleaning solutions, loading and transporting service carts, and cleaning surfaces including walls, doors, fixtures, and patient equipment with germicidal agents. Floor care such as sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and spot cleaning carpets are integral parts of ensuring the hospital remains presentable and hygienic. Restroom sanitation, along with replenishing essential supplies, managing trash disposal, and handling hazardous waste safely, are all critical components of the role. This position demands strong interpersonal skills, good attendance, and the ability to follow detailed instructions as provided in English. Kindred Hospital South Bay offers a competitive pay range of $21.00 to $21.48 per hour for this role and a comprehensive benefits package for eligible employees, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), flexible spending or health savings accounts, life insurance, paid time off, and wellness programs. This role is ideal for individuals looking to contribute to a healthcare environment that prioritizes patient care quality and overall hospital cleanliness.
