Regional Custodian - Central Ohio

Performance Academies is an educational institution committed to fostering a safe, clean, and conducive learning environment for students, staff, and visitors. As a dedicated non-exempt custodian reporting to the Principal, you will be a vital member of the Custodial department. The institution values dependability, punctuality, and a positive attitude, expecting its custodial staff to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and safety throughout the campus.

The role of the custodian within Performance Academies is both essential and multifaceted. Custodians are responsible for a range of maintenance duties that include dusting, mopping, finishing and buffing floors, vacuuming carpets, cleaning and restocking restrooms, as well as ensuring that halls and classrooms are orderly and sanitized. This position requires a hands-on approach to maintaining the physical environment, supporting both minor repairs and routine custodial equipment upkeep to ensure operational efficiency and safety.

In addition to routine cleaning, the custodian is expected to keep track of custodial supplies, ensuring that orders are timely and inventory is sufficient to meet daily needs. The role demands a high level of organization and time management skills, as custodians must complete their work within expected timeframes and be prepared for new tasks. Performance Academies also emphasizes the importance of a positive and responsible attitude; custodians are expected to accept responsibility for their work, learn and apply new techniques, and comply with all written and oral instructions to uphold the institution's standards.

Dependability is key in this role, as custodians must consistently attend scheduled workdays, arrive on time, and fulfill contracted hours. An additional requirement is that custodians maintain reliable transportation and possess a valid Ohio driver's license to ensure timely attendance and mobility. Health and safety compliance is also paramount; custodians must participate in yearly safety training, adhere to safety protocols, and avoid risky behaviors that might endanger themselves or the public.

The physical demands of the position are considerable and require the ability to handle heavy lifting (up to 50 pounds), pushing, or pulling. Custodians will be exposed to various environmental elements such as dust, dirt, loud noises, unpleasant odors, and potentially extreme temperatures. The ability to operate cleaning machines and power equipment safely and effectively is essential.

The institution requires custodians to maintain a professional appearance, which includes adhering to a dress code that prioritizes neatness, cleanliness, and functional professionalism. Clothing should be free of holes or excessive wear, and footwear must be comfortable and appropriate for the job. Personal grooming, minimal accessories, and discreet tattoos and piercings contribute to a respectful and focused school environment.

Overall, the custodian role at Performance Academies is integral to maintaining a welcoming, healthy, and safe educational environment. The position offers an opportunity for individuals passionate about cleanliness, organization, and dependability to contribute meaningfully to the success of the institution and the well-being of its community.
