Housekeeping - Seniors Living

At S&R Seniors Living, "We LOVE our Residents". Our affection for our residents runs far deeper than a brand or a logo—this philosophy envelops all that we do. Dedicated to our residents, our role is to ensure their good physical and emotional well-being, and to tend the needs of the heart. We are looking for people who, like us, believe the work we do has a positive impact on their community and that together we can continue supporting our Residents and their families.

Job Description

Our Housekeepers know this is about more than cleaning — it’s about creating a welcoming, safe environment where Residents feel comfortable and cared for. Every task you do helps support dignity and quality of life.

If you were working with us as a Housekeeper , here are some of the things you would have done last week:

• Performed light cleaning duties in Residents’ households, including dusting furniture, mopping and vacuuming floors, cleaning wash basins, mirrors, showers, and tubs, and safely disposing of garbage from Residents’ rooms
• Cleaned public and high-traffic areas by mopping and vacuuming floors, dusting surfaces, washing windows, and emptying trash containers
• Completed cleaning of designated areas in line with established procedures, daily routines, and hygiene requirements for both morning and evening shifts
• Operated housekeeping equipment safely and effectively
• Provided efficient, courteous, and respectful service to Residents at all times
• Followed WHMIS legislation and safe handling procedures for all chemicals used within the department
• Worked cooperatively with other departments to support housekeeping operations
• Followed established routines and direction from the Resident Services Manager
• And supported your team as needed.

When you apply, if you have your credentials, we will try our best to reach out to you within the week (hopefully within a few days). When you’re eligible with us for benefits, you can expect a variety of them:

• Pension/RRSP matching
• And many Company Events like our annual recognition parties, team theme parties, lunches, outings, and paid days off

We prioritize promoting from within and support our employees' educational needs because we care for the team we have put together. We come to our workplace each day understanding that we are entering our Residents' Home, and we are there to support them. While we don't take ourselves seriously, we take our jobs seriously and love to have fun with each other and the Residents!
