About The Role
As a Laundry Assistant at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
For you, that will mean maintaining a high standard of order and tidiness within the laundry area. Keeping our residents’ clothing looking and feeling great, you will be responsible for washing, drying, ironing and repairing items as needed. You will maintain linen stocks for day-to-day use and raise any issues to the Senior Housekeeper as you go. Safe, comfortable and welcoming, the environment you maintain will be testament to your brilliant eye for detail.
Whether you’re folding/separating linen/clothes ready to be returned to rooms or redistributing clothing to correct rooms, you’ll do so with a sense of kindness above anything else. You will take real pride in ensuring your work is always completed to the highest standard. You will enjoy creating an environment that’s well maintained, making sure our residents’ lives are longer, happier and healthier.

* Wash, dry, iron and repair items as needed

Qualifications & Skills
We’re looking for someone with experience, ideally, although we’ll provide great training. You’ll also need excellent time management and organisational skills. Beyond that, it’s all about your brilliant, positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You’ll be a brilliant communicator who’s as skilled at listening as giving instruction. When you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and it is important that you are able to recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in related areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
