Veterinary Hospital Custodian

Custodial Worker – Veterinary HospitalA clean hospital is part of great patient care.

At Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota (AERC), excellent veterinary medicine depends on more than doctors, technicians, and advanced equipment.

It also depends on someone making sure the hospital is clean, safe, organized, and ready for whatever walks through the door next.

We're looking for a dependable Custodial Worker to help care for our veterinary hospital facilities.

If you're someone who notices the fingerprints on the glass, the corner everyone else forgot, or the floor that could use one more pass—and you take pride in leaving a space better than you found it—we'd love to meet you.

What You'll DoYou'll help keep both clinical and non-clinical areas clean, sanitary, and ready for use.

That includes:

Clean and disinfect lobbies, hallways, break rooms, meeting rooms, restrooms, offices, exam rooms, and shared treatment areas

Sweep, mop, vacuum, scrub, and maintain floors

Empty trash and recycling

Clean high-touch surfaces, glass, fixtures, furniture, and common areas

Restock paper products and other designated supplies

Follow a scheduled deep-cleaning rotation for vents, walls, baseboards, fixtures, and other areas

Perform scheduled terminal cleaning of procedure and surgical rooms

Carefully move medical equipment when necessary to clean around and underneath it—and put it back where it belongs

Help keep parking lots, entrances, and outdoor areas free of litter and pet waste

Assist with light snow shoveling and salting during Minnesota winters

Monitor cleaning supplies and equipment

Report maintenance, equipment, or safety concernsA Few Important Things to Know This is a veterinary hospital, so you'll be working around patients, medical equipment, and active clinical teams.

This is not primarily an animal-care position. You'll certainly see plenty of dogs and cats, but your role is focused on keeping the environment safe and clean for them.

You should be comfortable working around animals, medical environments, cleaning chemicals, and the occasional mess that comes with a 24/7 veterinary hospital.

What We're Looking For You may be a great fit if you:

Take pride in doing thorough work

Are reliable and dependable

Can work independently without someone constantly checking in Notice details other people miss

Know how to prioritize your work

Are comfortable following established cleaning and safety procedures

Can safely work around medical equipment and busy clinical spaces

Are willing to help cover another AERC location occasionally when a coworker is away Previous custodial, housekeeping, environmental services, healthcare, hotel, or commercial cleaning experience is helpful, but we're willing to train the right person.

Why AERC?

AERC is Minnesota's only locally owned emergency and specialty veterinary hospital.

Our hospitals care for seriously ill and injured pets every day, and maintaining a clean environment is an important part of keeping those patients—and the people caring for them—safe.

You'll have meaningful work, a consistent place on the team, and the satisfaction of knowing that what you do matters even when you're working behind the scenes.

Great medicine needs clean spaces.

If you're dependable, detail-oriented, and like the satisfaction of seeing exactly what you accomplished at the end of a shift, we'd love to hear from you.
