Veterinary Hospital Custodian
About The Position
A clean hospital is part of great patient care. At Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota (AERC), excellent veterinary medicine depends on more than doctors, technicians, and advanced equipment. It also depends on someone making sure the hospital is clean, safe, organized, and ready for whatever walks through the door next. We're looking for a dependable Custodial Worker to help care for our veterinary hospital facilities. If you're someone who notices the fingerprints on the glass, the corner everyone else forgot, or the floor that could use one more pass—and you take pride in leaving a space better than you found it—we'd love to meet you.
