vibrant for the communities we serve." Do you enjoy meeting new
people and have a delightful disposition? We do too! In fact, that
is what this job is all about. Block by Block is seeking to hire an
energetic and friendly Cleaning Associate to help us at our
Playhouse District location. What's a Cleaning Associate? It's
someone who's willing to talk to people with a friendly smile, take
ownership of your city, and do 'whatever it takes' to make sure
visitors have a safe, clean and welcoming environment around them.

assigned work zone with a rolling can containing supplies and tools
to take care of the following tasks: - Removing litter, fast food
bags, cups, containers, cigarette butts, and other debris on
sidewalks, street gutters, and alleys. Trash removal and cleaning
the sidewalks are mostly what Ambassadors do. Anything that keeps
your district from looking clean and inviting has to go. - Remove
graffiti and posters from light posts, trash cans, news boxes and
other public infrastructure. We look high and low for anything in
eyesight that needs to be removed. Do you know those stickers for
bands and bars? Handbills that junk up the telephone polls, well
they got to go too. - Pull isolated weeds. Weeds, weeds, weeds,
they seem like they sprout up overnight. We pull them all. Weed
abatement is a big part of this job. Those weeds grow around the
tree wells, the cracks in the sidewalks, the vacant lots, you name
it. If there is a crack, a weed can get in. - Damp wipe and
straighten horizontal surfaces, such as trash can lids, news boxes,
and other infrastructure. This is vital. We have always cleaned and
sanitized touchpoints. We clean everything that doesn't move.

actively acknowledge pedestrians with a friendly greeting or

information or recommendations. We go out of our way to engage with
visitors and foot traffic. That means that we will cross the street
to say "hello." Our Ambassadors never meet a stranger. REPORTING -
must be able to provide written reports of broken infrastructure,
and graffiti on private property, and provide a basic daily report
of accomplishments and tasks completed. We use Smart Phones to
document stats on what we clean. We need someone who can work a
cell phone. PROFESSIONALISM - must maintain a positive,
professional environment in full compliance with applicable laws,
