Teamwork and excellent communication with both medical staff and fellow housekeeping personnel are critical to successfully managing daily responsibilities. The role includes responsibilities such as emptying medical waste containers—including sharps—restocking supplies, and maintaining cleaning equipment. Additionally, employees may participate in special projects like window or wall washing and the removal of heavily soiled furnishings.

At Banner Health, the commitment to employees extends beyond their daily tasks. Workers in this role receive a flat rate weekend shift differential of $1 per hour and an 18% night shift differential when applicable. Weekend and holiday rotations are part of the position, further emphasizing dedication to service at all times.
