Nowon-gu Supports Dedicated Cleaning and Disinfection Staff for Daycare Centers

Applications open from the 6th to the 12th, recruiting 62 people... COVID-19 cleaning and disinfection activities at daycare centers until December

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is supporting dedicated quarantine personnel at daycare centers to protect children vulnerable to infection amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The dedicated personnel will be responsible for cleaning and disinfecting areas where children mainly spend time, such as daycare center stairs and hallways, as well as washing teaching materials and tools.

The recruitment quota is 62 people, and applications are accepted until the 12th of this month.

Final selected candidates will be individually notified on the 20th after document screening. Eligibility requirements include residents of Nowon-gu aged 18 or older who are capable of working, currently unemployed or have closed their business with no regular income, registered job seekers, or belong to employment-vulnerable groups. For more details, refer to the recruitment announcement on the district office website.

Working conditions are 6 hours per day, 5 days a week, with a wage of 8,590 KRW per hour, including the four major social insurances and weekly/monthly leave allowances. The employment period is four months, from the end of August to the end of December.

Job seekers should prepare an application form, job registration certificate, consent form for collection, use, and provision of personal information, and proof of employment vulnerability (if applicable), and submit them in person to the Women and Family Division of the district office. Since applicants work in child-related facilities, submission of consent for child abuse and sex crime background checks is mandatory. Submission forms can be downloaded from the district website.

The district is currently conducting a demand survey targeting 370 daycare centers in the area, and dedicated quarantine personnel will make rounds to daycare centers that request support.

Meanwhile, about 300 quarantine workers are currently dispatched to over 70 elementary, middle, and high schools. They support quarantine efforts for 4 hours daily until the end of November, performing tasks such as temperature checks during school arrival times and disinfecting classrooms and desks.

District Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “This project provides a safe environment for children from COVID-19 while also creating jobs, achieving two goals at once. We will strive to ensure children can live safely through thorough quarantine measures.”
