For more than 120 years, McInnis & Holloway Funeral
Homes has served Calgary families with professionalism, compassion and
exceptional attention to detail.
A spotless entrance. A carefully prepared arrangement room.
A chapel that feels welcoming and cared for. The small details that most people
may never consciously notice – but that make an enormous difference when a
family walks through our doors.
At McInnis & Holloway, housekeeping is much more than
keeping our facilities clean. Our Housekeeping Attendants play an important
part in creating the calm, professional and welcoming environment our families
expect during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
If you take pride in exceptionally clean spaces, notice the
details others miss, and enjoy knowing that your work genuinely matters, this
may be the role for you.
What Your Day Looks Like
This is a full-time position working 75 hours bi-weekly.
Core hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but flexibility
is an important part of this role.
Our Housekeeping team supports multiple funeral home
locations throughout Calgary. Priorities can change quickly based on services,
events, vacations and operational needs, so you must be comfortable changing
locations on short notice, filling vacation gaps in the housekeeping schedule
and providing weekend coverage when required.
Occasionally, the work also happens after everyone else has
gone home. At our busier locations, you may be scheduled for an evening shift,
such as 4:00 p.m. to midnight, to complete carpet steam cleaning and other work
that is best performed when the building is quiet.
Your day may include:
·
Cleaning and maintaining offices, meeting rooms,
visitation rooms, chapels, washrooms, kitchens and common areas
·
Vacuuming, dusting and cleaning windows,
mirrors, artwork and woodwork
·
Carpet cleaning and steam cleaning soft seating
·
Maintaining tile and laminate flooring,
including waxing and stripping
·
Emptying garbage, recycling and compost
·
Maintaining entrances and removing leaves,
rocks, snow and other debris
·
Cleaning and maintaining staff and preparation
kitchens, including loading and unloading dishwashers
·
Caring for plants throughout our locations
·
Preparing coffee and cookies and ensuring
arrangement rooms are stocked and ready before families arrive
·
Monitoring and ordering cleaning, lunchroom and
event supplies
·
Providing coverage at different locations to
help keep our housekeeping schedule running smoothly
·
Pitching in wherever needed to help our
locations look and operate at their best
What Makes a Great Housekeeping Attendant Here?
You notice things.
A fingerprint on glass. A chair out of place. An arrangement room that needs
restocking. You don't need someone to point out every detail – you naturally
see what needs attention.
You take pride in your work.
“Good enough” isn't really your thing. You like leaving a space knowing it has
been properly cared for.
You're adaptable.
You may start your week expecting to work at one location and be needed
somewhere else instead. A vacation, busy service schedule or unexpected
staffing gap can change the plan. You're comfortable adjusting and helping
where you're needed most.
You understand the environment you're working in.
Our funeral homes are active workplaces, but they're also places where families
may be grieving, gathering and making important decisions. You are comfortable
working quietly, respectfully and professionally around them.
You're dependable.
Our locations need to be ready for families every day. Your team can count on
you to be there and to get the job done.
You're comfortable working independently.
You can organize your day, manage your responsibilities and maintain a
consistent standard without needing constant direction.

Your Work Makes an Impression
Families may never know who prepared the room before they
arrived, polished the entrance, stocked the coffee station or made sure every
detail was exactly where it needed to be.
But they will notice how the space made them feel.
If you're an experienced housekeeping professional who takes
genuine pride in creating clean, welcoming and beautifully maintained spaces –
