What are the responsibilities and job description for the Janitorial Technician position at GRACE Marketplace?
The Janitorial technician is responsible for maintaining the GRACE campus in a clean and sanitary condition, performing routine janitorial service and responding to emergency situations as needed. This is a front line position and our janitorial technicians interact directly with our guests throughout the course of the day.
Primary Responsibilities
GRACE operates on a housing first philosophy, which means our Shelter program is focused on ending homelessness and not just providing for immediate needs. Our hope is that we move towards that goal in every interaction we have with our guests. This role has a number of both physical, mental, and even emotional demands of staff. GRACE is a 23 acre Campus, so expect to get your steps in and to be on your feet throughout the majority of your shift. This role is responsible to ensure the campus and Shelter are both safe and clean, so you will be required to lift up to 50 pounds. You will be working with people experiencing homelessness who likely carry intense past trauma, which can be emotionally and mentally demanding. While we offer many ways to support our staff, including training on things like “Trauma Informed Care,” and “Nonviolent Crisis Intervention,” we feel that it’s important to fully understand the demands of this role and come to GRACE with a solid plan with professional boundaries that will allow you to care for yourself outside of work.
Culture And Benefits
GRACE is an exciting, fast-paced organization filled with some of the best people you could ever hope to meet. All of our programs - day services, permanent housing, emergency shelter, volunteers, and more - are organized around three core values: Safety, Impact, and Respect. We’re on a mission to end homelessness, and we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to improve what we do. GRACE offers opportunities to make your work schedule fit your life.
