The available position is for a part-time Custodial and Maintenance staff member responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and safety of YMCA facilities. This role is vital in ensuring that all areas within the facility—such as pools, locker rooms, entrances, and general spaces—are clean, sanitary, and well-maintained to provide members and visitors with a safe and enjoyable experience. Responsibilities include following strict risk management policies, properly reporting incidents and accidents, and assisting in keeping the premises free of hazards by implementing appropriate OSHA and MSDS standards. The individual in this role will be expected to handle routine custodial duties such as foaming and cleaning pool areas, maintaining locker rooms, clearing snow and ice from sidewalks during winter, and replacing supplies and lighting as needed throughout the facility.

This role demands a proactive approach to facility maintenance and an ability to work independently while collaborating with the management staff and other team members. The position requires a strong commitment to adhering to safety procedures and a detail-oriented attitude to perform tasks accurately and efficiently. Additionally, this role involves participation in staff meetings and supporting community engagement initiatives like the Strong Community Campaign. The job also emphasizes the importance of good communication skills, problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to make sound decisions even in changing environments.
