Wellington is a dynamic, values-led community where collaboration and high standards underpin every aspect of daily life.
This is a vital operational role supporting the delivery of a centralised laundry service across the College. You will contribute to the timely collection, movement and distribution of laundry and linen across a large and varied site, helping to ensure that daily schedules are met and essential services continue to run smoothly.

The role also involves sustained manual handling, including lifting and moving heavy loads, navigating stairs and completing repetitive tasks with care, accuracy and consistency.
Working closely with colleagues, you will help provide a dependable and well-coordinated laundry service that supports pupils, staff and the wider College community. You will also assist with maintaining equipment, monitoring supplies and keeping the working environment clean, organised and safe.
The successful candidates will be positive, reliable and hard-working, with confidence driving as part of their role and the ability to work independently as well as within a team. Experience in a practical or operational setting would be helpful, together with the stamina, resilience and attention to detail needed to deliver a consistent, high-quality service.
Joining a school community brings a strong sense of purpose and connection. At Wellington, you will have access to training and development that supports your professional growth, while working with colleagues who take pride in delivering excellent service across our campus.
