We are seeking a dedicated and motivated Custodian and Facilities Manager (CFM) to join our team in a newly created role that combines custodial duties with facilities management responsibilities.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone interested in building a career in property and facility management within a supportive community setting. The position will begin part-time (20–25 hours per week) with the potential to grow into a full-time property/facility management role over time, possibly for a cluster of churches.

The Custodian and Facilities Manager will:
- Maintain a high level of cleanliness and tidiness throughout the facility, including washrooms, kitchens, and outdoor grounds.
- Support users of the building by setting up spaces for events, services, and community activities.

- Identify issues requiring professional trades or service providers and coordinate their work on-site.
- Perform or oversee minor repairs, painting, gardening, and small maintenance tasks.
- Occasionally work overtime, particularly around church holidays or special events.
Note: Most of the actual cleaning duties are performed by an outside contract cleaning company. This role will be responsible for the remaining cleaning and custodial functions in coordination with an assistant part-time custodian.

- Experience or aptitude in custodial/janitorial work
- Interest and/or aptitude in facilities maintenance, with willingness to develop technical skills and qualifications.

Compensation
- Hourly rate: $20–$25, commensurate with experience.
- 4% vacation pay (or two weeks paid vacation).
- Option for medical benefits.
Additional Information
- The role will report to the Priest-in-Charge and work closely with the Office Manager, under the oversight of the Church Wardens.
- Final hours will be negotiated to accommodate the successful candidate’s availability. The selected candidate will be required to work outside traditional office hours (i.e. evenings and weekends) for church services and other events.
