Our Environmental Services Department is consistently among the highest-performing Environmental Services teams in healthcare, and we're looking to add an Environmental Services Area Cleaner to our team to create the comfortable and safe environment our patients have come to expect. The caregiver in this role will be responsible for cleaning the Operating Rooms post-procedure.

The ideal future caregiver is hardworking, reliable, determined, detail-oriented, responsive to changing and pressing requests, proactive in identifying and attending to needs of their assigned area, a good communicator, comfortable working both independently and as part of a team, empathetic toward patients, visitors and caregivers, knowledgeable in blood borne pathogens and able to handle soiled equipment.

Opportunities to interact with and make positive impacts on patients, visitors, and caregivers, and opportunities for vertical growth (Team Lead, Supervisor, and Manager), are just a few reasons this role would matter most to the right future caregiver.

At Cleveland Clinic, we know what matters most. That's why we treat our caregivers as if they are our own family, and we are always creating ways to be there for you. Here, you'll find that we offer: resources to learn and grow, a fulfilling career for everyone, and comprehensive benefits that invest in your health, your physical and mental well-being and your future. When you join Cleveland Clinic, you'll be part of a supportive caregiver family that will be united in shared values and purpose to fulfill our promise of being the best place to receive care and the best place to work in healthcare.
