When you join Presbyterian Support Central (PSC), you’re becoming part of something truly special, a not-for-profit organisation that’s been helping people for more than 115 years. Everything we do is about supporting people at the most vulnerable times of their lives, whether that’s an older person needing care and connection, or a family working through tough times.
PSC has two well-known service brands that lie at the heart of our mahi:
- Enliven: our positive ageing services that create age-friendly communities where older people have companionship, choice, fun, and purpose.

Residents tell us they enjoy the home-like environment, strong community connections and fantastic recreation programme – Cashmere Home is known for its fantastic cultural days and special events. The Cashmere Home team is committed to ensuring the elders of Cashmere Home have top quality healthcare, as well as companionship, spontaneity, fun, meaningful activity and a sense of purpose in their lives.
Mō te tūranga - About the role
As a Laundry Worker, you will play an important role in supporting the comfort, dignity, and wellbeing of our residents. By ensuring clothing and linen are clean, well cared for, and returned promptly, you help create a homely and welcoming environment for the people who live in our home.
You will be responsible for a variety of laundry duties, including maintaining records related to residents’ laundry and distributing clothing and linen.
In this role, you will:

- Knowledge of commercial laundry processes and infection control (or willingness to learn)
