JOBS IN CANADA – Michaels Hiring Early Morning Environmental Team Member in Toronto

JOBS IN CANADA – A new part-time job opportunity has opened in Toronto as Michaels Stores begins recruiting for the role of Early Morning Environmental Team Member. The position is based at the TOR-Toronto/RioCan Hall location and offers hourly pay ranging between $18.60 and $21.45. The company is actively looking for candidates who can help maintain the store’s cleanliness and support customers during early shifts, including nights and weekends when required. Michaels, a well-known arts and crafts retailer across North America, said the role plays an important part in ensuring stores remain clean, safe and welcoming for shoppers and staff. Applicants must create an account on Indeed before proceeding to the company application page.

Role focuses on maintaining store cleanliness

The primary responsibility of the Early Morning Environmental Team Member is to maintain the overall appearance and cleanliness of the retail store. Employees in this role handle daily sanitation and cleaning tasks that help create a pleasant shopping environment for customers arriving later in the day. Typical duties include collecting and disposing of trash, dusting surfaces and mopping floors using approved cleaning procedures.

Team members may also move equipment and store merchandise temporarily while cleaning certain sections of the store. Once cleaning tasks are completed, items must be returned to their proper locations. The work also involves preparing cleaning solutions by mixing water and detergents according to company guidelines. Michaels expects employees to follow approved safety and operational standards when handling cleaning materials or equipment.

Deep cleaning responsibilities in high traffic areas

In addition to routine cleaning, the position includes periodic deep cleaning of areas that receive heavy customer traffic. These spaces typically include entryways, restrooms, breakrooms and other commonly used sections of the store. Maintaining these areas is considered essential for both hygiene and overall customer experience.

Workers are also responsible for keeping cleaning equipment organized and informing supervisors when supplies need to be replenished. The company encourages employees to identify areas that may require additional cleaning and to take initiative in addressing those tasks. Supervisors may assign additional duties depending on store requirements and daily operational needs.

Customer interaction also part of the role

Although the role centers around store maintenance, Michaels notes that team members may occasionally assist customers. Employees are expected to maintain friendly and respectful communication with shoppers and colleagues at all times. In some cases, staff may help customers locate products or provide support during checkout if needed.

Other possible tasks may include helping with store operations such as unloading delivery trucks, restocking shelves or assisting with planogram arrangements used to organize merchandise displays. Workers may also support services like Buy Online Pickup in Store (BOPIS) or Ship from Store (SFS), which are part of the retailer’s omnichannel shopping system.

Basic requirements and physical demands

Michaels prefers candidates who have prior experience in retail or cleaning roles, although this is not strictly required. The job involves several physical activities, including standing for extended periods, bending, lifting boxes and reaching high shelves using ladders or similar equipment.

Because the work takes place in a public retail environment, employees must be comfortable moving throughout the store while customers are present. Some areas such as stockrooms may not always be climate controlled. Workers may occasionally perform outdoor tasks, such as retrieving shopping carts or assisting during truck unloading.

Applicants must be at least 16 years old and meet all federal, provincial and local employment requirements in Canada. The company states that reasonable workplace accommodations can be discussed with supervisors if required.

Benefits offered to part time employees

Michaels offers several benefits to eligible team members, even for part-time roles. These benefits may include paid time off, dental and vision care coverage, and tuition reimbursement programs. The company says these benefits are designed to support employees’ wellbeing while encouraging professional growth.

Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Irving, Texas, Michaels operates more than 1,300 stores across the United States and Canada. The company is widely known as a major destination for arts, crafts and creative supplies. More details about the organization can be found on its official website at
