✨ LOVE A JOB WELL DONE? WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU!

Housekeeping/Laundry Lead

Do you notice the little things?

Are you the person who can spot a smudge from across the room? Do you enjoy helping coworkers, keeping things organized, and making sure a job is done right?

If so, we may have the perfect opportunity for you!

Meadowlark is looking for a Housekeeping/Laundry Lead to join our team and help keep our residents’ homes clean, comfortable, safe, and welcoming.

This isn’t your typical housekeeping position! You’ll still be hands-on with housekeeping and laundry, but you’ll also be a go-to resource for the team—helping answer questions, provide training and guidance, assist with daily priorities, and make sure our high standards are being met.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Perform hands-on housekeeping and laundry duties.

  • Help keep resident spaces clean, comfortable, and welcoming.

  • Conduct routine quality checks and help ensure our standards are being met.

  • Be a resource and positive support for housekeeping and laundry team members.

  • Help train new employees and provide guidance on procedures, equipment, supplies, and safety.

  • Help coordinate daily priorities as directed by the Housekeeping/Laundry Manager.

  • Identify areas that need attention and communicate concerns to the manager.

  • Help troubleshoot problems and find ways to improve daily processes.

  • Help keep calendars, task sheets, and other department information organized and up to date.

  • Print calendars, task sheets, and other documents as needed.

  • Schedule and reschedule appointments using department calendars.

  • Write and respond to emails with other Meadowlark employees.

  • Communicate supply or equipment needs and other concerns to the manager.

  • Build positive relationships with residents, families, guests, and coworkers.

  • Most importantly, help create an environment where residents feel comfortable, respected, and at home.

  • THIS ROLE IS PERFECT FOR SOMEONE WHO...

✔ Takes pride in a job well done
✔ Has a great eye for detail
✔ Enjoys helping and encouraging others
✔ Is dependable, organized, and takes initiative
✔ Can work independently but loves being part of a team
✔ Is comfortable giving friendly guidance and coaching
✔ Has good communication and problem-solving skills
✔ Is comfortable using a computer or willing to learn
✔ Has housekeeping, laundry, hospitality, healthcare, or senior living experience—or is ready to learn!

COMPUTER EXPERIENCE IS PREFERRED

This position isn't just about cleaning and laundry. As a Lead, you'll also help with the organization and coordination of the department, so being comfortable with a computer is important.

Computer experience is preferred. You'll use a computer for a variety of daily tasks, including:

  • Printing calendars and task sheets

  • Scheduling and rescheduling appointments on department calendars

  • Writing and responding to emails with other Meadowlark employees

  • Using Microsoft Word and Excel

  • Using Outlook and email

  • Completing other basic computer and administrative tasks

You don't have to be a computer expert—we can help you learn our specific systems. We are looking for someone who is comfortable learning and willing to use technology as part of the job.

❤️ WHY MEADOWLARK?

At Meadowlark, housekeeping isn't just about clean floors and fresh linens. It's about creating a place that feels like home.

Our residents know our team members by name. They have preferences, routines, stories, and personalities—and our Housekeeping/Laundry team plays an important role in making their everyday environment comfortable and welcoming.

You'll have the opportunity to make a difference every day while working alongside a team that believes in person-centered care, teamwork, and treating people with kindness.

ONE IMPORTANT THING...

This is a working lead position—not a supervisory position.

You won't be responsible for hiring, firing, or formally disciplining employees. Instead, you'll be the extra set of eyes, helping hand, knowledgeable resource, and quality champion who helps the Housekeeping/Laundry Manager and the entire team succeed.

We're looking for someone who can lead by example, pitch in when the team needs help, and isn't afraid to say, "I've got it—let me help!"

THE DETAILS

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

  • 80 hours every two weeks

  • Must have flexibility to work other hours when needed to help cover other shifts

  • Must have a clean driving record

  • Must be comfortable performing hands-on housekeeping and laundry duties

COME BE PART OF SOMETHING MEANINGFUL

Come help us keep Meadowlark looking great and, more importantly, feeling like home.

If you're dependable, organized, enjoy helping others, notice the details, and take pride in your work, we'd love to meet you!
