• Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces frequently (exam tables, counters, doorknobs, light switches, chairs, phones, and equipment exteriors).
• Turn over exam rooms between patients: remove soiled linens and table paper, disinfect surfaces, and restock required items so rooms are ready for the next visit.

• Respond to spill cleanups (including bloodborne pathogen protocols if trained), post appropriate signage, and escalate issues that require clinical or facilities follow-up.
• Report maintenance issues (leaks, odors, broken fixtures, damaged flooring, HVAC concerns) promptly to the appropriate department.
• Follow established infection control, OSHA, and office safety protocols-including proper PPE use-to prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment for patients and staff.
• Maintain detailed records and checklists of cleaning schedules, room turnovers, product lot numbers (as applicable), and tasks completed to support audit readiness and consistency.

Experience

• Previous experience in healthcare or commercial cleaning is preferred but not required; training in medical office infection-prevention practices will be provided for the right candidate.
• Knowledge of proper disinfection techniques, dwell times, and safe chemical handling
• Strong attention to detail with a proactive attitude toward maintaining cleanliness and patient safety standards.
• Excellent time-management skills to complete room turnovers and daily tasks efficiently within scheduled hours, with flexibility for early morning or evening shifts.

• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while adhering to safety guidelines; capability to lift/move up to 25-40 lbs and stand/walk for extended periods.
