To operate caretaking equipment and guarantee that cleaning meets defined standards, attention to detail is essential.
TMU welcomes people who have demonstrated a commitment to the ideals of equality, diversity, and inclusion and will help us realize the benefits of incorporating these values into the work at all levels and units of the institution. Furthermore, to address disadvantage in employment in Canada and bring lived experiences to the work, we encourage applications from members of equity-deserving groups that have historically been disadvantaged and marginalized, such as First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples in Canada, First Nations Peoples in the United States, racialized people, Black people, people with disabilities, women, and 2SLGBTQ+ people. Candidates with lived experiences as members of equity-deserving groups, as well as experience working with these communities on a daily basis, will be preferred. We urge all competent applicants to apply, and we welcome refugees and immigrants to Canada.
