ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Laundry Assistant you’ll be responsible for providing a laundry service for our residents; this includes the operation of commercial washing, drying and finishing machinery. You’ll ensure the laundry area is safe, clean and tidy at all times and that all laundry is processed in an efficient and timely manner.
Some of our residents love to join in with simple laundry tasks, so you may sometimes find that you have extra help as you carry out your daily routines.
Set in a beautiful Grade II listed castle, our unique care home has been designed to enhance the quality of life for our residents, to promote a feeling of warmth and a sense of tranquility. St Wilfrid's Priory Care Home specialises in residential and respite care.
AND IN RETURN
The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1, years and we’re currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues and the care homes we live and work in. Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development.
Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a valued member of our team:
1. 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
2. A workplace pension
3. Free uniform
4. Free DBS
5. Higher rates of pay at weekends
6. Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
7. Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £ for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us
8. Blue Light Card and “My Rewards” programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more
ABOUT YOU
You don’t need to have previous formal laundry or housekeeping experience, as we’ll give you the training and support you need. What we’re looking for is someone who is able to use their own initiative and takes pride in their work. You’ll have a positive can-do approach, with good communication skills, confident in engaging with our residents to understand their individual needs ensuring they receive the best service possible.
In joining us, you’ll become part of our extended family. You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes.
