Housekeeping & Grounds Supervisor

Indianapolis, IN

Overview 

The John Boner Neighborhood Centers (JBNC) is seeking a proactive and hands-on Housekeeping & Grounds Supervisor to lead the team responsible for keeping our facilities and grounds welcoming, safe, and well-maintained. Overseeing three full-time housekeepers and two seasonal groundskeepers, this role ensures that JBNC’s buildings and outdoor spaces reflect the pride we take in serving our community. From managing supplies and staff schedules to coordinating contractors and responding to urgent weather-related needs, the Supervisor plays a critical role in maintaining the high-quality spaces where neighbors gather, learn, and grow. 

A Day in the Life 

No two days look the same in this role. You might start your morning walking through community spaces to confirm that meeting rooms are ready for use, then check in with housekeepers to set daily priorities. By midday, you could be meeting with grounds staff to plan snow removal operations, reviewing supply inventory and placing an order to stay on budget, or coordinating with contractors to address equipment repairs. Throughout the day, you’ll mentor and support your team, making sure they have what they need to succeed and adjusting priorities when unexpected needs arise. Whether preparing spaces for events, ensuring equipment is safe and ready, or working with other JBNC directors during emergencies, you’ll be a trusted leader keeping operations running smoothly. 

You Will Thrive in This Position If… 

  • You have a strong background in housekeeping or grounds management, ideally in commercial or institutional settings like schools, hotels, or large facilities. 
  • You’re a natural leader who enjoys supporting staff, setting clear priorities, and fostering a positive, team-centered culture. 
  • You’re highly organized, able to manage supplies, equipment, and budgets while keeping daily operations on track. 
  • You’re hands-on and willing to step in when needed—whether it’s mowing, shoveling, or lending a hand to get the job done. 
  • You’re comfortable collaborating across teams and working alongside other directors during emergencies or large-scale events. 
  • You take pride in maintaining safe, clean, and welcoming environments where community members feel cared for. 
  • You thrive in a role that requires flexibility, problem-solving, and a balance of routine oversight with unexpected challenges.
