Job Description

San Joaquin County is a government institution dedicated to providing essential services to its community. Within the county, various departments work collaboratively to maintain public health, safety, and welfare. One of the critical facilities under its jurisdiction is the San Joaquin General Hospital, which serves as a key healthcare provider offering comprehensive medical services to residents of the county and surrounding areas. The county emphasizes equal employment opportunities and inclusivity, ensuring non-discrimination based on age, race, gender, disability, or other protected categories. San Joaquin County also complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, providing reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities.

This particular recruitment is focused on filling three part-time positions at San Joaquin General Hospital. The available role is primarily for individuals with experience and skills related to environmental services and cleaning within a healthcare setting. This is a part-time employment opportunity with an hourly wage ranging approximately from $21.09 to $25.63 per hour. The role involves supervising and scheduling staff, training new employees, and ensuring that cleaning standards and safety procedures are strictly adhered to in the hospital environment. Candidates should expect to work in settings that may include contamination risk and require physical stamina, such as standing and walking continuously during shifts.

The position also requires the incumbent to assist in inspections and temporarily assume the duties of the Assistant Manager of Support Services when needed. This underscores the role’s supervisory nature and the importance of leadership capabilities within the environmental services team. Effective communication and interpersonal skills are vital, as the job includes employee counseling, performance evaluation, and participation in hiring decisions. Candidates must be responsible for maintaining high standards of cleanliness and ensuring the economical use of cleaning materials to support hospital operations.

The San Joaquin County Human Resources Division manages the application process, with applications accepted online or by mail. Resumes will not be considered as substitutes for the official county application form and must be submitted by the final filing date for consideration. Furthermore, the county adheres to a strict substance abuse policy and may require physical exams or drug screenings contingent on job classification. Equal opportunity employment and non-discriminatory hiring practices are emphasized for all applicants. This role offers part-time employees eligibility for health insurance benefits and step increases under certain criteria.

The county encourages applicants to check their email frequently for recruitment correspondence and supports Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations throughout the hiring process. This job opportunity is suited for individuals with hospital or institutional cleaning experience who aspire to grow in supervisory environmental services roles within a healthcare facility, contributing to patient safety and overall hospital hygiene.
