With compassion and community support, Ronald McDonald House Saskatchewan thrives on the generosity of its volunteers, donors and community partners. As they continue to grow and expand their impact with the support of Saskatchewan’s caring community, they are building brand new locations in Prince Albert and Regina. Connect with an organization that is passionate about contributing directly to the recovery and emotional support of children and families.

The Opportunity

As Ronald McDonald House Saskatchewan prepares to open its new Houses in Prince Albert and Regina, they are seeking House Service Associates to ensure families arrive to spaces that are exceptionally clean, comfortable and cared for throughout their stay.

Your day may begin by connecting with Family Service to see which families have checked out, which rooms are needed next and where attention is required throughout the House. From there, you may turn over guestrooms, keep common spaces immaculate, manage laundry and supplies, or respond to something unexpected that needs attention. Some days will bring several room turnovers, while others will give you more time to focus on the details throughout the House.

The people living in the spaces you care for are just as important as the work itself. You will regularly cross paths with families in hallways and guestrooms, and those interactions matter. Maintaining an exceptional standard of cleanliness also means understanding that a family caring for a seriously ill child may have very different priorities. You notice the details, take pride in your work and approach families with compassion, never judgment.
