If you notice what others overlook and believe every space deserves care, this role was built for you.

As a Custodian at IPHNY, you’ll be responsible for maintaining our facilities with a full-building mindset, ensuring every area is clean, safe, and welcoming. Your work will include:

Cleaning from top to bottom — inside and outside of each building
Daily cleaning and sanitizing of shelters, offices, bathrooms, kitchens, and common areas
Detailed cleaning of windows, door frames, baseboards, fixtures, vents, and hard-to-reach areas
Sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and disinfecting all floors and high-touch surfaces
Performing scheduled deep cleans and quarterly cleaning projects to maintain high standards
Removing trash and recycling and restocking cleaning and hygiene supplies
Exterior upkeep including walkways, entrances, grounds care, and snow removal
Identifying and reporting maintenance or safety concerns promptly
Assisting with minor repairs, furniture moves, deliveries, and event setup/cleanup
Providing custodial support across multiple IPHNY sites as needed

What We’re Looking For

Required:

Strong work ethic with a whole-building, top-to-bottom cleaning mentality
Exceptional attention to detail — a must for success in this role
Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and follow schedules
Knowledge of basic cleaning methods and safe chemical use
Valid, clean driver’s license
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and perform physical tasks safely

Preferred (but not required):
