Job Description

SHC is a comprehensive healthcare organization comprising four distinct and specialized facilities dedicated to providing top-tier care and rehabilitation services. The Elms Residence is a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility focused on rehabilitation services for individuals of all ages, offering compassionate and professional care to promote recovery and independence. The Pines facility caters to young adults with Acquired Brain Injuries, delivering individualized intermediate care and specialized programming tailored to meet unique cognitive and physical rehabilitation needs. The Willows facility supports individuals requiring both medical and mental health care at intermediate and skilled levels, ensuring an integrated approach to complex healthcare requirements. Finally, The Woods stands as one of the few specialized mental health rehabilitation facilities (SMHRF) within the state, delivering quality recovery programs for those experiencing mental illness with a focus on humane and effective treatment strategies.

SHC is currently accepting applications for housekeepers to join its dedicated team. This employment opportunity holds significant importance in maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for the diverse populations served across SHC’s facilities. The housekeeper role involves performing a variety of daily housekeeping and laundry tasks vital to infection control, patient safety, and overall facility upkeep. Employees in this position will engage in cleaning, sanitizing, and maintaining patient living areas, common spaces, and facility furnishings. They are expected to adhere rigorously to universal precautions and established infection control procedures to support the special health needs of SHC's occupational settings.

Housekeepers will be handling a range of cleaning duties such as dusting, polishing, floor care, trash disposal, and equipment maintenance. The role requires meticulous attention to detail, a strong sense of responsibility, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Candidates with previous experience in healthcare or related fields will find this position rewarding, particularly those interested in working with special populations including long-term care residents, behavioral health patients, and geriatric clients. Although prior experience in these areas is preferred, SHC is committed to providing training to those eager to serve and grow within a supportive and impactful healthcare environment.

Employment at SHC offers stability and support, including competitive benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as paid time off. SHC emphasizes equal employment opportunities and inclusive hiring practices, valuing diverse backgrounds and experiences. Joining SHC as a housekeeper represents not only a job but a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the well-being and recovery of individuals across a spectrum of healthcare needs. Those who take pride in maintaining cleanliness and safety, and who desire a career in a supportive healthcare community, will find SHC a welcoming and fulfilling workplace.
