A laundry room assistant is an important role, as the supply of fresh laundry is essential for the animals in our care, keeping them clean, warm & comfortable.
As a laundry room assistant you will be supporting our staff and taking care of the washing of towels, blankets and animal bedding. You will also be ensuring that the laundry room is kept clean and tidy at all times and checking that machines are in proper working order
We'll train you to use the machines and give you training in Manual Handling as some lifting and carrying will be involved.
This role is a great opportunity to meet people and make new friends at the heart of the local community. Ultimately, you can be certain the work you will be doing is making a huge difference to the welfare of animals.
What you will be doing
- Undertaking any laundry and ironing that is generated during the daily running of the centre
- This will include towels, blankets, and animal bedding
- Ensuring that the laundry room is kept clean and tidy at all times and the machines are in proper working order
The skills you need
- Volunteers must be aged 18 or over
- Willingness to pitch in, help out and get your hands dirty
- No experience is necessary as full training will be given on the use of our machines
- Some heavy lifting will be involved but full H&S training will be given
What's in it for you
- Meet new people and make new friends
- Learn great new skills to add to your CV
- A great induction and training relevant to your role
- Volunteer in a fun environment at the heart of the local community
- You’ll be making a huge difference to the welfare of animals
Please note:
The centre is not near any bus routes so you will need to be able to drive or get a lift to or from the Centre
This can be a dirty role. You'll need to be happy dealing with animal blood, faeces and vomit stained laundry as some of the animals in our care may be unwell, or recovering from injuries.
