In person — Bakersfield, CA 93311 Description We are hiring an afternoon day porter for an outpatient medical clinic in southwest Bakersfield.

You cover the back half of the clinic day. Patients are still coming through when you start, so the first stretch is keeping the building presentable while it's busy — restrooms, trash, spills, entrances. As the clinic winds down, you overlap with the evening cleaning crew and the floor technician, and the work shifts toward getting the building ready to close. You're visible to patients and staff for much of your shift, so a friendly, professional presence matters. What you'll do Clean and restock restrooms — fixtures, partitions, mirrors, counters, and sinks, with tissue, towels, seat covers, and soap kept full Respond quickly to spills, including blood and body fluids, on floors and walls Empty trash and replace liners; move trash and boxes to collection areas Keep entrances, vestibules, entry glass, and lobbies presentable Clean drinking fountains, the break room, and vending areas Remove scuff marks from corridors Keep the exterior entry free of litter and debris Handle spot cleaning anywhere in the clinic as needed Help the evening crew as needed and confirm your areas are closed out at the end of the night What we're looking for Reliable attendance and punctuality Comfort working around patients, including elderly and mobility-impaired visitors Ability to work independently and prioritize without close supervision Ability to stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 40 pounds throughout your shift Willingness to complete training in bloodborne pathogens and infection control — we provide this Basic English communication for safety instructions and interacting with clinic staff Helpful but not required Prior janitorial, custodial, or housekeeping experience Experience in a medical, dental, or laboratory setting Bilingual English/Spanish What we offer Uniforms and all equipment provided Paid training in medical-environment cleaning Consistent weekday schedule — no weekends, no rotating shifts, no on-call Before you start This position requires a background check and facility access clearance after a conditional offer of employment.
