Custodial

Last but not least is a role that is very new to the J1 cultural Exchange program – Custodial!  If you’re unsure what Custodial means, it is basically a cleaner.  You can be put almost anywhere within the Walt Disney World Resort and it can involve a huge variety of duties. 
Let’s be realistic here – this isn’t going to be the most glamorous job at Disney World.  You will have to deal with cleaning toilets, bathrooms, restaurants and empting rubbish bins.  You will come in contact with cleaning chemicals and the work will be fairly physical.  There will no doubt be the cleaning up of some bodily fluids involved too, so if this is something you don’t think you can handle then you might want to give it a miss. 

On the other hand, if cleaning is something you’re happy to do, there are some definite plusses to this role.  The guest interaction in Custodial is very high, meaning you will get to talk to and help heaps of guests every day.  There is generally a lot of freedom in Custodial once you have earned your ears, and as long as you get all your work done on time, you can operate at your own pace.  Also, you may get to learn how to make awesome water art like THIS.

Here’s the official role description:

Custodial
  • High Guest interaction while working independently
  • Extensive cleaning – including restrooms and toilets
  • Working with cleaning chemicals and equipment
  • Bussing tables in restaurants and outdoors
  • Sweeping and mopping
  • Emptying trash cans, lifting heavy garbage bags
  • Driving pargo carts
  • Vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning pool decks
That’s all I can really tell you about this role at the moment.  Once I’m on my program I will try to find out more information and update this page accordingly.
