• Complete assigned cleaning logs and other required documentation.
• Complete required Relias education and other assigned training.
• Participate in daily flash training and other meetings or education as scheduled.
• Complete other housekeeping and community responsibilities as assigned.

If you're dependable, caring, and take pride in a job well done, we'd love to have you on our team.
