All About Being a Cleaning Ambassador

Block by Block is looking for people who like working outdoors, staying active, and feeling a sense of accomplishment while improving some of your city's most important public spaces.  If you love interacting with people in your current environment but are looking for more variety in your assignments, this might be the job for you!

Cleaning Ambassadors are often like the local caretakers in the public spaces they serve because they:

• Professionally represent not only us but our customers, and they realize we’re highly visible and operate in one of our cities’ most important fishbowls.
• Help the public see that the space we serve is clean and more inviting, leading to more return visits and sharing positive experiences.
• Take ownership of every person’s experience in the public space, whether it’s a visitor, resident, worker, or member of the street population.
• Take action to address issues that don’t make the area clean.

As a Cleaning Ambassador, no two days are ever the same, but a typical day will likely include the following responsibilities:

• Keeping sidewalks and streetscapes clean and litter-free
• Removing graffiti and stickers
• Making spaces bright through power washing
• Staying Visible and Being Really Friendly: Our job is not only to clean but to be a visible presence and have friendly interactions with the people in the public space we serve
• Ongoing Reporting: Be comfortable using our simple smartphone app to report normal activities and maintenance reports

Block by Block is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
