What are the responsibilities and job description for the Take Pride in Your Work — Cleaning Technician (Background Ck & Drug Screening) position at Wasilla Area Seniors?
Your Work Shows — And That's the Point
There's something genuinely satisfying about walking away from a space knowing you made it cleaner, safer, and more welcoming than when you found it. As a Cleaning Technician with WASI, that feeling is yours every single day.
This role is focused entirely on cleaning — not building maintenance, not a dozen other tasks thrown your way. Just you, your skills, and the pride of delivering consistently excellent results for a team and community that truly appreciates it.
Why You'll Love Working Here
- Paid training provided — no prior experience required to apply, we'll teach you everything you need to know
- Real advancement opportunities — grow your skills and move up within the organization
- Stable, full-time hours with a consistent day shift schedule
- Paid time off so you can recharge
- Retirement plan to invest in your future
- Supportive team environment at an organization that values every person on staff
- Meaningful setting — your work directly supports seniors and the staff who serve them
What You'll Do
You'll keep WASI's facilities clean, safe, and welcoming for seniors, staff, and visitors every day. Your responsibilities will include:
- Sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and dusting floors and surfaces throughout the facility
- Cleaning and restocking restrooms, break rooms, and common areas to maintain sanitary conditions
- Removing trash and recyclables on a regular schedule
- Cleaning interior windows, glass doors, and other surfaces as needed
- Scrubbing and polishing floors as required
- Responding promptly to spills and urgent cleaning needs to keep everyone safe
- Following established cleaning protocols and checklists to deliver consistent, high-quality results
You're a Great Fit If You...
- Take pride in doing thorough, detail-oriented work that others can see and appreciate
- Are dependable — your team and your facility count on you showing up ready to work
- Can manage your time and tasks independently without needing constant direction
- Are comfortable on your feet and able to handle the physical demands of the role — lifting, bending, and moving throughout your shift
- Communicate well and enjoy being part of a team, even when working independently
- Have 1 year of commercial cleaning or custodial experience (preferred but not required — we provide paid training!)
- Hold a valid driver's license (preferred)
