Job Description

Our Environmental Service Workers know housekeeping and laundry is about more than cleaning — it’s about creating a welcoming, safe environment where Residents feel comfortable and cared for. Every task you do helps support dignity and quality of life.

If you were working for us as a Environmental Service Worker, here are some of the things you would have done last week:

Washed and dried Residents’ clothing and linens, ensuring items were returned fresh and in good condition
Disinfected and cleaned to support infection control
Cleaned Residents’ rooms and common areas, including vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and bathrooms
Followed WHMIS guidelines and safe handling procedures for all cleaning products
Helped maintain a safe environment by adhering to Health & Safety Standards
Worked as part of a supportive team, assisting coworkers and covering shifts as needed (days, evenings, weekends, and last-minute call-ins)
Took pride in creating a comfortable, homelike environment for Residents every day
And supported your team as needed.

When you apply, if you have your credentials, we will try our best to reach out to you within the week (hopefully within a few days). When you’re eligible with us for benefits, you can expect a variety of them:

Flexibility in shift scheduling to support your home life
When eligible, you can enjoy full range of extended Health benefits
Pension/RRSP matching
And many Company Events like our annual recognition parties, team theme parties, lunches, outings, and paid days off

We prioritize promoting from within and support our employees' educational needs because we care for the team we have put together. We come to our workplace each day understanding that we are entering our Residents' Home, and we are there to support them. While we don't take ourselves seriously, we take our jobs seriously and love to have fun with each other and the Residents!

Qualifications

To be hired into this role, you must have:

Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent
Experience in housekeeping and laundry (healthcare or hospitality setting an asset)
Ability to operate commercial laundry and cleaning equipment (washer, dryer, auto-scrubber, vacuum, etc.)
Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS) check completed within the past 6 months
TB 2 Step updated within the last year

Additional Information

While our Applicant Tracking System uses some AI-enhanced tools, every decision throughout screening, assessing, and selecting candidates is made by real people on our team.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Eligible full-time Sarnia nurses get employer-paid health coverage: the advertised plan has no deductible.
S&R advertises pension or registered retirement savings plan matching for eligible full-time Sarnia nurses.
S&R has a pricing lever: rent increases reflect staffing, food, utility and maintenance costs.

What critics are saying

Overnight work is built into care: S&R's wellness teams keep trained and registered staff available around the clock.
Executive director applicants need retirement, residential care or hospitality experience plus prior management or team-lead experience.
Demand stays geographically concentrated: S&R's villages operate across Southwestern Ontario rather than a national footprint.

What makes S&R Seniors Living unique

Local ownership shapes the business: S&R remains a privately owned Ontario family group.
Residents submit service requests directly: S&R's online concierge covers wellness, housekeeping, maintenance and catering.
Residents retain flexible leases: S&R uses month-to-month tenancy agreements covering accommodations and service packages.
