About Oregon Humane

Founded in 1868, Oregon Humane is the Northwest's oldest and largest animal welfare organization with one of the highest adoption rates in the nation. We are working toward our vision of a world where all animals are treated with compassion, kindness and respect. With campuses in Portland and Salem, Oregon Humane is an Oregon-based nonprofit that relies on donor support for its adoption, education, medical and humane law enforcement programs.

Visit oregonhumane.org to learn more about how we’re creating an ecosystem where all of us – animals and humans – feel safe, valued and part of something bigger.

The Facilities and Custodial teams play a crucial role in supporting all aspects of the Oregon Humane Society. Through cross departmental communications and interactions, we ensure a safe and healthy environment for staff, volunteers, donors, the general public, and any and all vendors who find themselves on our ever expanding campus.

The custodial lead assists in the implementation of organizational and departmental policies, procedures, and protocols in order to ensure the highest possible degree of care and safety in caring for the OHS facilities, employees, and tenants. The custodial lead must facilitate collaborative and helpful interactions between the staff, volunteers, and public; assist in selection, hiring, performance appraisal, and management of assigned staff members.

Promotes a safe, collaborative, team centered working environment. Additional responsibilities include documenting completed paperwork in an accurate and timely manner, providing information relating to the work of the custodial team, requesting supplies/equipment utilized by or purchased for the custodial team.
