Job Description

NorthBay Health is a respected independent, nonprofit health system serving the communities of Napa, Solano, and Yolo counties. The organization operates two acute-care hospitals including a Level II Trauma Center and a Level III NICU maternity unit, a cancer center, urgent care locations, plus an expanding network of primary and specialty care clinics. NorthBay Health is nationally recognized for quality, earning prestigious distinctions such as Magnet with Distinction for nursing excellence and multiple high performing recognitions by U.S. News and World Report. Its services span cardiovascular care, neuroscience, orthopedics, surgery, and various outpatient specialties. The organization is dedicated to improving the well-being of its community by offering accessible, high-quality healthcare and maintaining a trusted reputation as the healthcare partner of choice.

The Environmental Services (EVS) Aide at NorthBay Health plays an essential role within this healthcare environment by ensuring that cleanliness and infection control standards meet rigorous municipal, county, state, and federal regulations. Working under the supervision of Environmental Services Supervisors and direction of the Director, the EVS Aide completes assigned tasks to maintain a safe, clean, and welcoming setting for patients, visitors, and staff members. The position involves performing daily cleaning duties in patient rooms, exam rooms, restrooms, public spaces, and floors, using proper equipment and procedures tailored for healthcare facilities. The role demands awareness and compliance with infection prevention policies, including hand hygiene and the proper use of personal protective equipment to prevent contamination.

This role is pivotal in upholding organizational standards set by regulatory bodies such as The Joint Commission and the Department of Health Services. The EVS Aide is responsible for the effective handling and disposal of chemicals and linens, operating UV disinfection machines as needed, and actively communicating any issues or safety concerns to supervisors. The position requires prioritization and flexibility to respond to the dynamic demands within hospital settings while fostering a respectful and professional interaction with all individuals. NorthBay Health promotes values of nurture care, ownership, respect, trust, and excellence which guide the behavior of the EVS Aide and the broader team. This position offers a meaningful opportunity to contribute directly to patient safety and the overall experience within a leading regional healthcare provider.

NorthBay Health also provides a comprehensive benefits package, structured compensation framework, and supportive work environment aimed at employee growth and development. The position is primarily onsite given the hands-on nature of healthcare environmental services. Candidates with a high school diploma or equivalent and experience in janitorial or healthcare cleaning practices are encouraged to apply for this role that combines essential operational duties with a commitment to quality patient care and infection control.
