Job Description

Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS) is one of the nation’s largest and most respected providers of hospital and healthcare services. Headquartered in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, UHS has established itself as a Fortune 500 company with a remarkable record of achievement and steady growth. In 2023, the company reported annual revenues of $14.3 billion and employed approximately 96,700 individuals across the United States, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. UHS operates a diverse array of healthcare facilities including acute care hospitals, behavioral health facilities, outpatient centers, and ambulatory care access points. They also provide insurance offerings and maintain a broad physician network, positioning themselves as a comprehensive healthcare provider dedicated to improving patient outcomes and community health.

The Heritage Oaks Patient Enrichment Center, more commonly known as the HOPE Center, is a newly constructed, state-of-the-art psychiatric health facility within the UHS network. The HOPE Center features a 16-bed capacity designed to serve the acute psychiatric needs of the community in collaboration with the Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services. This facility is committed to delivering exceptional mental health care in a supportive and safe environment, focusing on patient enrichment and holistic recovery.

The role of Housekeeper at the HOPE Center is vital to maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and overall well-being of the facility’s patients, staff, and visitors. As a Housekeeper, you will handle daily janitorial and maintenance responsibilities which include cleaning patient rooms, offices, and public areas. Ensuring compliance with OSHA and Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) standards is integral to this position, as it promotes a risk-free environment conducive to healing. This role also involves monitoring facility grounds and responding to emergency situations when required, working closely with the Plant Operations Director and Housekeeping Supervisor.

The position offers a per diem schedule with hourly compensation ranging from $24.50 to $36.74, reflecting the company's commitment to fair and competitive pay. This part-time, flexible role is ideal for individuals who thrive in dynamic healthcare environments and are dedicated to supporting patient care beyond clinical services. It also requires the incumbent to be ready to work variable shifts, overtime, and flexible hours to meet the needs of the center.

Overall, this opportunity at the HOPE Center allows you to be part of a cutting-edge psychiatric healthcare facility supported by a leading national healthcare services provider. Working at UHS means being part of a diverse and inclusive workforce where respect for all individuals is paramount, and equal opportunity employment policies are strictly adhered to. Joining the HOPE Center means contributing directly to a vital component of the healthcare system that focuses on acute psychiatric care and patient enrichment, making a positive impact on mental health in the Sacramento community.
