The Cedars is currently seeking a Per Diem Housekeeper to join its team. This role is pivotal in upholding the sanitation and safety standards across resident rooms and common areas throughout the facility. As a Per Diem Housekeeper, you will be entrusted with cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting duties that ensure every space within The Cedars is maintained at optimal hygiene levels. Your work will directly contribute to the residents’ comfort and safety by eliminating health hazards and preventing infection risks. This position operates on an as-needed basis, offering flexibility for those who prefer a per diem work schedule with competitive compensation starting from $18.00 per hour. Ideal candidates will demonstrate a careful attention to detail and a strong work ethic, capable of following specific cleaning protocols and safety guidelines pertinent to healthcare environments.

The role encompasses a variety of responsibilities including cleaning bathrooms, hallways, dining areas, and shared spaces to meet the facility’s cleanliness benchmarks.

The Per Diem Housekeeper will be expected to collaborate with maintenance teams by reporting any safety or maintenance concerns spotted during their duties. This position emphasizes compliance with infection control standards, which are crucial in a healthcare or long-term care setting. Those with prior experience in healthcare housekeeping or a similar environment will find their skills particularly valuable and relevant in this role.

Overall, this opportunity suits individuals committed to cleanliness, safety, and service quality within a supportive healthcare community. The flexibility of the per diem schedule combined with foundational wage offerings makes this housekeeper role an appealing option for those seeking work that has a meaningful impact on the well-being of others, while also accommodating varied personal schedules.
