The VA Medical Center operates facilities in Denver and Pueblo, Colorado, providing comprehensive healthcare services to Veterans. The Environmental Management Services Division plays an essential role in the overall healthcare delivery by ensuring that all areas of the medical center uphold rigorous sanitation and hygiene standards. The division's efforts contribute to infection control, patient safety, and an environment conducive to healing and recovery.
The VA Medical Center is part of the broader Veterans Health Administration, a crucial component of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, which serves millions of veterans by providing high-quality health care services. Working in this medical center means being part of a respected federal organization known for its commitment to veterans' care and its focus on fostering a supportive, professional work environment. This is an opportunity to contribute directly to the well-being of those who have served the country.
The role itself is for a position under the direct supervision of the Housekeeping Supervisor or their designee. It encompasses janitorial and custodial services critical to the daily operations of the medical center. The position involves working in various departments and areas within the medical center, including patient rooms, clinical areas, offices, and public spaces, highlighting the diverse and pivotal nature of the job.
Candidates for this role are expected to perform a variety of maintenance and cleaning tasks that ensure cleanliness and orderliness within the facility. These duties support the hospital's mission by preventing the spread of infectious diseases, maintaining aesthetic standards, and helping to create a welcoming and reassuring environment for veterans and visitors alike. The role demands attention to detail, reliability, and a strong work ethic as custodial responsibilities directly impact the operational success of the medical center.
The VA values experience gained through both paid and unpaid roles, including volunteer service, which demonstrates relevant knowledge and ability related to housekeeping and custodial work. It is an excellent fit for individuals who are conscientious, dependable, and interested in working in a healthcare environment where their contributions have a meaningful impact.
As an Employment Type of OTHER, this position offers flexibility and an inclusive approach to applicants with varied backgrounds and work histories. There is no specific educational requirement, emphasizing the importance of hands-on experience and practical skills over formal education. Working hours align with full-time equivalency based on 35-40 hours per week, though part-time experience is also credited proportionally.
Overall, this is an ideal position for candidates seeking to contribute their custodial skills in a meaningful government role, focusing on the health and safety of veterans and the general hospital community.
