Your responsibilities will include maintaining a high standard of order and tidiness in the laundry area, ensuring residents’ clothing is clean and well-maintained. You will wash, dry, iron, and repair items as needed, manage linen stocks, and report issues to the Senior Housekeeper.

You should be able to listen as well as give instructions, always demonstrating kindness and thoughtfulness in interactions with residents and colleagues.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You must be able to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know how to respond appropriately. All staff will attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and be able to seek advice and escalate concerns when necessary.

Full training will be provided, offering a great opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you will have access to various benefits supporting your physical and psychological well-being, including:

• Competitive hourly rate based on experience and qualifications.
• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG check.
• Free uniform.
• Nutritious meals during shifts of eight hours or more.

• Opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues as part of a dedicated team.
• Colleague discounts at over 1600 high street stores.
• Wellbeing support through a confidential Employee Assistance Programme.
• Recognition schemes such as ‘Kindness in Care’ and Long Service Awards.
• Refer a friend scheme offering up to £1000 per successful referral.

We are committed to an inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and aim for a quick onboarding process to get you started as soon as possible.
