About the Job
As part of our laundry team, you’ll provide a high-quality laundry service that supports our residents’ comfort, dignity and wellbeing.
Your day-to-day duties will include collecting and sorting laundry, washing, drying and ironing items according to their care labels, and returning clean clothing and linen to residents’ rooms or the appropriate cupboards. You’ll make sure personal clothing is clearly labelled and, where time allows, carry out small repairs, such as replacing missing buttons.
You’ll keep the laundry area and equipment clean and organised, replenish detergents and use supplies efficiently. Following your training, you’ll operate machinery and handle laundry products safely, reporting equipment faults, hazards or anything that could affect the service promptly.
Throughout your work, you’ll treat residents and their belongings with care and respect, always knocking before entering their rooms.

About You
You’re organised, dependable and have a keen eye for detail. You take pride in getting things right, understanding that a freshly pressed outfit or a carefully returned favourite jumper can make a real difference to someone’s day.
