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 person who works here understands that our residents are individuals with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining a high standard of order and tidiness within the laundry area. You will be responsible for washing, drying, ironing, and repairing items as needed, ensuring our residents’ clothing looks and feels great. You will maintain linen stocks for day-to-day use and raise any issues to the Senior Housekeeper as you go. The safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment you maintain will be a testament to your brilliant eye for detail.
Whether you’re folding or separating linen and clothes ready to be returned to rooms or redistributing clothing to the correct rooms, you’ll do so with a sense of kindness above anything else. You will take pride in ensuring your work is always completed to the highest standard, creating an environment that’s well maintained, making sure our residents' lives are longer, happier, and healthier.
We’re looking for someone with experience, ideally, although we’ll provide great training. You’ll need excellent time management and organizational skills. Beyond that, it’s all about your 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. Whenever you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, so it is important that you can recognize the signs that may indicate possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You should also be able to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
We’ll provide full training, so it’s a great opportunity to learn something new. In return, you will enjoy access to a variety of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well-being. Throughout your career, we will invest in you, and you will enjoy additional support and benefits including:
* Hourly rate subject to experience and qualifications.
* Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG.
