The role of a Housekeeping Attendant at CharterCARE of Rhode Island is vital in upholding the cleanliness and safety standards essential for an optimal healthcare environment. This full-time position (64-80 hours per pay period) primarily works the night shift, from 11:00 pm to 7:30 am, providing continuous coverage during critical hours.
