Janitorial Coordinator About Mobile Loaves & Fishes

Mobile Loaves & Fishes (MLF) is a social outreach ministry that has been empowering communities into a lifestyle of service with the homeless since 1998. Founded in Austin, Texas, the organization serves its homeless neighbors through three core programs:
Truck Ministry, Community First! Village, and Community Works. Often referred to as the most talked about neighborhood in Austin, Community First! Village is a 51-acre master planned development that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for men and women coming out of chronic homelessness. We are now embarking on a new phase of community expansion, adding more than 1400 new neighbors over the next 5-10 years.

The Janitorial Coordinator plays an integral role within the Site Operations Department, coordinating the day-to-day janitorial operations throughout Community First! Village (CFV). This position provides guidance, support, and oversight to a janitorial crew made up of CFV neighbors participating in MLF's Dignified Income (DI) program and helps ensure that facilities throughout the community are maintained to a consistent standard of cleanliness and care.

As CFV continues to grow, the Janitorial Coordinator will help support consistent, effective janitorial operations while creating opportunities for neighbors to engage in purposeful work through the DI program.

This is a full-time, non-exempt position reporting to the Janitorial Manager. Due to the nature and requirements of the position, hours are flexible to fit need but typically include 7am-4pm Monday-Friday. Some nights and weekends may be required.
