A Custodian I (As‑Needed) performs the same functions as a permanent Custodian I on a temporary basis only in the absence of a permanent incumbent. The Custodian I (As‑Needed) may be assigned to various sites throughout the District and cover various shifts depending on the work schedule of the absent permanent employee. The as‑needed assignment will end upon the return to duty of the permanent Custodian I employee.

Placement in the as‑needed pool for this classification has no end date. However, an employee of the District assigned to the as‑needed pool for this classification may certify out his/her test scores for the placement on an eligibility list for a permanent position in accordance with Merit system provisions of the State of Education Code. The Custodian I (As‑Needed) will remain at the first step of the appropriate salary schedule.

After training, incumbents work independently in maintaining the cleanliness, appearance, and safety of an assigned area at a District school or facility.
