Do you love to clean and organize? Then being a Cleaning Wizard is right up your alley!
POSITION SUMMARY: This position provides cleaning and organizing help in our confidential Safe House located in Auburn, CA. You will be preparing and cleaning vacant rooms for our next clients.
All training, direction and cleaning supplies will be provided.
ABOUT OUR SAFE HOUSE: We provide 90-day emergency confidential shelter when necessary for survivors and their children who are in immediate danger. Our shelter is pet inclusive. A shelter stay provides an opportunity for survivors to be safe, to access the resources they and their children need, and to draw up a plan for their future.
THE PROCESS: When a client exits the Safe House, their room needs to be cleaned and prettied up for the next client/s. This is not "glamourous" work but so needed for the safety and protection of our clients and staff. It also helps new clients feel supported and welcomed. Our hard-working Safe House staff could really use some help with room clean-ups. It is a juggling act and challenge to answer the crisis line, attend to and provide support to safe house clients, intake new clients and clean rooms as they become available.

SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE:
