This position is responsible for the floor care on assigned units, including dusting, mopping, and buffing of hallways, patient rooms, and various common areas on assigned units. Other duties include timely completion of associated discharge cleaning, cleaning and disinfecting areas as requested, curtain hanging, UV, establishing rapport with patients, and working alongside fellow caregivers from other departments.
The ideal future caregiver is:

• Proactive in identifying and attending to needs of assigned area.
