An opportunity has arisen for a Laundry Assistant within our team based at Gilbert Bain Hospital Laundry. Applicants must have the ability to carry out all aspects of the role, a good eye for detail, good communication skills, and be able to take instruction. A full training package for the successful candidate will be provided.
We’re looking for people who share our team-working ethos. Applicants should have a good level of basic education, and a full UK driving licence would be desirable. You will need to be able to follow instructions to participate in the initial training and induction, which takes place when you start. Your manager and colleagues will provide support while you complete your on-the-job training. The work you do in the Domestic team will be essential to the safe running of the Health Service in Shetland; you will be a valued member of the team and may have the opportunity to develop skills in other areas of the facilities team if you wish, such as laundry or catering.
Rise to the challenge and enjoy the opportunity - Shetland is a wonderful place to live and work. Shetland offers low pollution, low crime, excellent schools, great leisure facilities, unique wildlife, and amazing scenery, whilst still only a short flight away from the UK mainland. To find out more about living and working in Shetland, go to www.shetland.org and/or https://www.shetland.org/life.
You will be expected to comply with the Induction Standards and Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers within 3 months of commencing your role – details can be viewed on http://www.hcswtoolkit.nes.scot.nhs.uk/resources/hcsw-standards-and-codes/.
