Join Our Team as a Custodian at the Olathe Community Center

Hiring Bonus: $1,000

Are you passionate about keeping spaces clean and welcoming? Do you enjoy making a difference in your community by ensuring public areas shine? The City of Olathe is looking for dedicated Custodians who take pride in their work and enjoy interacting with the public.

About the Role: As a Custodian with the City of Olathe, your focus will be on maintaining clean and welcoming spaces for staff and visitors to our recreational and rental facilities.

This includes setting up and taking down chairs, tables, and other equipment or materials to ensure our venue spaces meet special event requirements.

What We Offer:

  • A Supportive Team: Join a team that values your hard work and dedication while working in a fun, dynamic environment.
  • Variety: Work in diverse locations, including our state-of-the-art community center, libraries, and other buildings throughout the city.
  • Community Impact: Be a part of something bigger. Your efforts will directly enhance the experiences of those who use our facilities.
What We're Looking For:
  • Passion for Cleanliness: You have a keen eye for detail and take pride in creating spotless environments.
  • Friendly Demeanor: You enjoy interacting with the public and providing excellent customer service.
  • Reliability: You are dependable and committed to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety.
