Long VAMC - Supervisor

The Supervisor is a full-time, contract-based position supporting environmental cleaning and housekeeping operations at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California.

Ham Hed LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) providing property maintenance and facility support services to federal, state, and local government customers. Established in 2003, Ham Hed supports government facilities throughout the United States with services including janitorial and facility cleaning, floor care, window cleaning, recycling and waste management, and other facility-support services.

This position performs cleaning, disinfecting, floor care, restroom cleaning, waste removal, and general housekeeping throughout a working medical facility while also providing direct leadership to employees assigned to the shift.

Supervisors organize the shift, assign work, communicate expectations, monitor progress, and inspect completed areas. This is a hands-on leadership position. Supervisors are expected to work alongside employees, understand the team’s cleaning responsibilities, demonstrate proper procedures when needed, and set the standard for quality, safety, professionalism, reliability, and teamwork.

Because this work takes place in a healthcare setting, attention to detail, proper cleaning and disinfection procedures, safety, infection-control practices, and effective supervision are especially important.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Lead employees assigned to the shift and provide clear day-to-day direction regarding work assignments and priorities.
• Organize the shift and assign employees to areas and tasks based on cleaning requirements, staffing, and operational needs.
• Communicate assignments, priorities, special requests, and expectations at the beginning of and throughout the shift.
