It’s a great way to get a sense of what it takes to keep everything running smoothly in our care home and it could open up other opportunities as you develop.
To join us as a Laundry Assistant you'll need a personable approach, good practical skills and determination to provide an exceptional laundry service. Just as importantly, you should be reliable and committed to making a positive difference to our residents. In return we'll provide all the training you need to thrive.
The role will involve the safe operation of the washing machines and dryers within the laundry at the care home and following the health & safety polices in place by ERYC. Training will be given on the safe use of the equipment and on all safe working practise.
A basic understanding is required of general laundering of clothes and /or bedding in line with guidance and garment care instructions.
