As our Laundry Assistant, you’ll help keep residents’ clothing, bedding and other laundry clean, fresh and ready to use. You’ll take care when handling personal items and work in an organised, safe and hygienic way. Here are some other important things you need to know:

• You’ll sort, wash, dry and finish laundry in line with care home procedures and garment instructions.

• You’ll return residents’ clothing and linen promptly, taking care to ensure items are correctly identified and delivered to the right person.

• You’ll report damaged, missing or unlabelled items to the appropriate colleague.

• You’ll keep the laundry room and equipment clean, tidy and safe, and report any faults promptly.

• You’ll follow relevant infection prevention, health and safety and manual handling procedures.

• You’ll treat residents’ belongings with respect and protect their privacy and dignity at all times.

Exceptional people make an exceptional care home

We’re looking for someone who is reliable, organised and takes pride in keeping things clean and well presented. A considerate approach, attention to detail and the ability to work as part of a supportive team will help you thrive. Previous laundry or cleaning experience is helpful, but training and support can be provided.

We value people who treat everyone with kindness and respect, take pride in their work and want to make a positive difference to the lives of residents and colleagues.
