Job Description

Saint Luke's Hospital on the Plaza is a renowned and trusted healthcare provider located in Kansas City, dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care. As part of the only faith-based, nonprofit, and locally owned health system in Kansas City, Saint Luke's hospital employs over 12,000 passionate professionals who work tirelessly to uphold the hospital's mission and vision. The institution prides itself on fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and innovative work environment where every employee's voice is valued, and career development is prioritized. By joining Saint Luke's, you become part of a health system that not only focuses on the highest quality of medical care but also emphasizes community impact, employee well-being, and continuous improvement. Saint Luke's is known as “The Best Place To Get Care, The Best Place To Give Care” which reflects its dedication to patient-centric services and a supportive workplace culture.

The role of Housekeeping Associate at Saint Luke's Hospital on the Plaza is essential to maintaining the safety and cleanliness of the hospital environment. As a vital member of the Environmental Services Department, the Housekeeping Associate plays a key role in combating hospital-acquired infections by ensuring that patient rooms, bathrooms, floors, and offices meet rigorous sanitary standards. Their work directly supports the hospital's mission by protecting patients and staff and creating a welcoming and hygienic environment.

This full-time position offers a steady Monday to Friday schedule with rotating weekends every other weekend, working the evening shift from 3:00 pm to 11:30 pm.

No direct supervision is needed, but eagerness to learn, flexibility, and teamwork are highly valued qualities.

Saint Luke's Hospital supports its associates with competitive wages starting at a minimum of $17.50 per hour, and offers shift differentials for evening and weekend shifts to recognize the commitment of its evening staff. Comprehensive benefits including health, vision, and dental insurance, paid time off, leave of absence policies, tuition reimbursement, retirement options, and more are available to eligible employees, underscoring the hospital’s commitment to the well-being and growth of its team members.
