Lead the Team That Keeps Care Moving

Great care begins with a safe, clean, and welcoming environment-and that starts with a strong team. As our Environmental Services Supervisor, you’ll lead from the front, guiding the people who help make every patient, family, and team member feel confident in the spaces around them. You’ll keep daily operations running smoothly, develop and support staff, champion cleanliness and infection prevention, and ensure schedules, supplies, equipment, timekeeping, and invoices stay on track. If you’re a hands-on leader who enjoys building strong teams and seeing the immediate impact of your work, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day.

What you will do:

• Set the pace for daily Environmental Services operations by establishing priorities, assigning work, coordinating coverage, and helping the team adapt confidently as needs change.
• Walk the spaces your team supports, celebrate work done well, and offer timely, practical coaching whenever standards need attention.
• Review daily checkout reports and ensure each space is clean, ready, and aligned with organizational expectations.
• Build team confidence through hands-on training in cleaning and disinfection practices, chemical handling, and the safe use of hospital equipment.
• Support your team through thoughtful scheduling, clear work assignments, performance coaching, employee relations, and day-to-day leadership.
• Keep the team prepared by monitoring consumable supplies, usage data, orders, and equipment repairs.
• Create dependable work and time schedules under the Manager’s direction, coordinate vacation and holiday coverage, make daily staffing adjustments, and approve timecards.
• Help build a strong Environmental Services team by supporting candidate selection, onboarding, orientation, training, mentoring, and continued development.
• Be a visible champion for safety, risk management, and infection prevention, strengthening a culture of patient safety through observation, education, and accountability.
• Stay calm and responsive during emergency calls and shifting priorities, coordinating staffing changes to keep disruption to a minimum.
• Partner with subcontractors and Environmental Services suppliers to ensure work is completed safely, reliably, and to standard.
• Protect high standards by maintaining compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local legal and certification requirements.
• Lead by example, bringing the principles of Just Culture and our Organizational Values to every interaction and decision.
