Laundry Worker – Weekend hours – Huntleigh Home

When you join Presbyterian Support Central (PSC), you’re becoming part of something truly special, a not-for-profit organisation that’s been helping people for more than 115 years. Everything we do is about supporting people at the most vulnerable times of their lives, whether that’s an older person needing care and connection, or a family working through tough times.

PSC has two well-known service brands that lie at the heart of our mahi:

• Enliven: our positive ageing services that create age-friendly communities where older people have companionship, choice, fun, and purpose.
• Family Works: our social services supporting children and whānau through counselling, social work, life-skills and parenting programmes and safety services.

Huntleigh Home is known for its warm welcome, great food and engaging activities. Set in the heart of Karori, it’s close to family, shops and community groups. Huntleigh Home offers a welcoming environment with compassionate care, modern facilities, and strong community connections.

Mō te tūranga - About the role

As a Laundry Worker, you will play an important role in supporting the comfort, dignity, and wellbeing of our residents. By ensuring clothing and linen are clean, well-cared for, and returned promptly, you help create a homely and welcoming environment for the people who live in our home.

You will be responsible for a variety of laundry duties, including maintaining records related to residents’ laundry and distributing clothing and linen.

The role is part time working Friday to Sunday 24 hours per week 08:00 to 16:30.

In this role, you will:

• Carry out daily laundry tasks and routines in an efficient and timely manner
• Operate a range of commercial laundry machines and equipment
• Complete laundry processes such as washing, drying, ironing, folding, and returning residents’ clothing and linen
• Work independently while also contributing to a supportive team environment

This is a great opportunity for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys being part of a team, and values contributing to the wellbeing of older people.

Alongside a genuine passion for supporting the wellbeing of older people, you will be enthusiastic, patient, and well organised, with strong interpersonal skills. You will share our values of empathy, compassion, and respect, and take pride in contributing to a warm and welcoming environment for our residents.

Previous experience in a rest home, hospital, or hospitality environment is an advantage, but not essential. We are happy to support the right person to learn the skills needed for the role.

Ideally, you will have:

• The ability to follow instructions, manage multiple tasks, and work both independently and as part of a team
• A commitment to health, safety, and good hygiene practices, and an understanding that you are working in our residents’ home.
• Experience in laundry or cleaning services within a residential, hospital, or hospitality setting
• Knowledge of commercial laundry processes and infection control (or willingness to learn)

A job with Enliven is a career that supports and empowers thousands of people to live happy, healthy lives. We love people – and that includes our employees!

You will benefit from the following:

• Supportive team environment with strong peer collaboration
• Staff wellbeing initiatives to support your personal health
• Benefit including discounted healthcare and free counselling services
• Ongoing training and support to help you grow
• A workplace that values diversity and honours Māori as Tangata Whenua
