You're not just cleaning rooms - you're setting the stage where life-saving magic happens. As an Operating Room Cleaning Specialist, you'll be part of the behind-the-scenes dream team that keeps surgical spaces spotless, safe, and ready for action. Your mission: fight germs, battle dust, and make sure every surface shines like new.
This isn't your average cleaning gig - you'll get specialized training, work with cool equipment, and be trusted with one of the most important jobs in the hospital. If you're someone who takes pride in their work, loves a good shine, and knows that details matter - we want you!
What You'll Be Doing:
* Give Operating Rooms and surgical areas the VIP cleaning treatment after each procedure.
* Use high-powered vacuums, scrubbers, polishers, and other pro-level tools like a boss.
* Master the art of using the right cleaner on the right surface - no streaks, no damage, just sparkling results.
* Keep things smelling fresh and clean (yes, we mean really clean).
* Stick to strict safety, cleanliness, and infection prevention protocols.
* Team up with Environmental Services, Infection Prevention, and OR pros to learn the ropes and keep your skills sharp.
* Occasionally step into a leadership role when needed and help keep the team on track.
What You Bring to the Team:
* A high school diploma or GED.
* Some hands-on housekeeping experience (bonus points if it's in a hospital or medical setting).
* Willingness to complete special training for surgical area cleaning - don't worry, we've got you covered.
* Know-how with vacuums, scrubbers, polishers, and more.
* Attention to detail and care with cleaning products and surfaces.
* Solid reading and writing skills to follow instructions and keep things documented.
* Strength and stamina - this job keeps you moving!
* A team-player attitude and pride in doing meaningful work.
* The ability to supervise a small crew when called upon.
Perks of the Job:
* Be part of a mission-driven team that makes a real impact.
* Learn specialized cleaning skills that go beyond the basics.
* Work in a fast-paced, high-energy environment (no two days are the same!).
* Be a key player in patient safety - your work truly matters.
Ready to roll up your sleeves and be the hero behind the scenes? We'd love to meet you.
