The role

Our Hawke's Bay Central Laundry team is looking for a reliable and motivated Laundry Assistant / Driver to join us.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are quite the same! You'll split your time between working onsite in our central laundry and getting out on the road, driving our Class 1 laundry truck to collect and deliver linen to our care facilities and retirement villages across Hawke's Bay.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being active, takes pride in their work and loves being part of a supportive team.

This is a permanent part-time role, with shifts across weekdays and Sundays. Flexibility to work across the roster is essential.

What you'll be doing

• Collecting and delivering laundry to our Oceania care facilities and retirement villages across Hawke's Bay

• Safely driving our Class 1 laundry truck and ensuring deliveries are completed efficiently and on time

• Assisting with daily laundry operations, including washing, drying, folding and organising linen

• Loading and unloading laundry, ensuring everything is handled with care

• Maintaining a clean, tidy and safe working environment

• Completing vehicle checks and maintaining accurate driving records where required

• Working alongside a friendly team to keep our laundry services running smoothly

What you'll bring

• A full, clean New Zealand Class 1 driver's licence – essential

• Confidence driving a larger vehicle and navigating local roads

• A reliable, punctual and organised approach to your work

• A good level of physical fitness, as the role involves lifting, loading and being on your feet

• A positive, team-first attitude and willingness to lend a hand wherever needed

• Great attention to detail and pride in delivering a quality service

• The ability to work independently when out on deliveries

• Flexibility to work rostered shifts across weekdays and Sundays

• Previous laundry, delivery or similar experience would be an advantage, but isn't essential

• The right to work in New Zealand
