Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team Job Description

The Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team will involve 1-3 people each week including a Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team Head. This is a vital support role to the functioning of the camp. The following responsibilities are the general functions of those on the Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team, but it is important to have a humble, willing heart and attitude as this is not a “glamorous” job and members of the Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team may be asked to serve in other areas of camp, though, in general not in the position of Counselors/Cabin Leader.

The Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team will be responsible to:

• Learn and implement proper procedure in the Dish Room.
• Work closely with the Kitchen Team to ensure that kitchen resources get clean and put away after each meal.
• Coordinate and instruct other helpers including campers and (potentially) other camp staff to help in the Dish Room.
• Coordinate and instruct other helpers including campers and (potentially) other camp staff to help with housekeeping duties like cleaning bathrooms, cleaning showers, cleaning the indoor activity areas, and taking out trash.
• Track Dish Room and Housekeeping resources and communicate needs to the Camp Director.
• Interact with campers in a loving, enthusiastic manner being mindful that your example can impact lives for Jesus Christ.
• Be spiritually minded and prepared through a daily prayer time and Bible time (even now in preparation for the summer).

The Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team Head will have demonstrated competence and/or experience either as a Glad Tidings Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team member or in the past or in a similar role elsewhere. They will take a leadership role and ensure that these core activities are being completed. This may involve making decisions, directing campers and (potentially) other staff, communicating with the rest of the Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team and with others in leadership roles including the Program Director and the Camp Director, and maintaining the resources needed to perform the functions of the Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team for that week of camp. The Dish Washing/Housekeeping Team Head is responsible to the Program Director for the week and will accept direction and input from the Camp Director.
