Our customers are all commercial customers, and we deal with personal laundry items.

To deliver such high standards it needs team members that are also committed to high standards and who enjoy the challenge of working alongside others who are enthusiastic and driven to ensure the business continues to succeed and grow.

The person appointed will be joining a strong full\-time team who work well together and are positive about the business and what it does.

The person appointed will spend part of the week working on operations in the business units and part of the week driving a company vehicle and delivering to customers.

The hourly rate for this post will be National Minimum Wage rate.

Key Duties of the Role

1\. Monitor and manage incoming laundry, including the recording/booking\-in of items associated with customers.

2\. Unpack and categorise incoming items.

3\. Check incoming hire items for wear and damage, reporting anything considered to be significant and that would jeopardise Elite’s reputation for quality.

4\. Loading machines and dryers in a timely manner, managing the flow of items from washers to dryers and then on to the ironing/finishing team or folding/packing zone. Each week there is a time plan which records items that need to be ready for deliveries and the loading of the machines together with the flow of items is crucial in ensuring that delivery times are met.

5\. The preparation of all items ready for packaging.

a. Bedding items pressed using flat roller ironer

b. Towels folded and stacked in Elite laundry bags, cloths folded and bagged ready for delivery.

6\. The correct labelling of all bags leaving the business that are ready for delivery – this is using the Elite labelling system.

7\. The checking of all laundered items for marks/damage that have been missed first time and/or have not been removed through the wash process.

8\. The checking of all hire items to ensure that they are clearly marked with the ELLS initials on labels. If not present or wearing faint, then re\-mark the items with the appropriate laundry pens provided or report to a manager.

9\. Driving a company vehicle and delivering/collecting items to/from customers.

10\. Always acting professionally and representing the company in the best possible light, especially when driving a company vehicle to deliver/collect to/from customers.

11\. Ensuring that the company delivery vehicle being used is organised in the back ready for deliveries and collections.

12\. Carrying out standard checks on the company vehicle being used before driving – lights working, indicators working, washer fluid full, no warning lights on the dashboard, tyres in good order (visible check).

13\. Regular cleaning of all machines to ensure that drums are clean, doors are clean, drawers (for powder/softener liquid) are clean and free of black mould and outside of washing machines are clean. This is carried out at least once per week.

14\. Regular servicing of the gas dryers – cleaning the lint screen, as required.

15\. Vacuuming the floors on a regular basis to ensure powder, fluff and debris from dirty items unpacked does not lie about on the floor and that dust doesn’t build up around the units.

16\. Regular cleaning of laundry tubs that hold the pooled hire linen – bits and dirt can gather quite quickly in these tubs due to constant use.

17\. The unpacking of new items of linen from suppliers, checking and marking with the ELLS initials for identification purposes.

18\. Any other duties deemed appropriate and necessary by the manager and commensurate with the post.
