Laundry Attendant - Full Time

Yora Nordic Spa • Portland, CT

12h • Onsite

About The Position

Yora Nordic Spa is building its founding team ahead of its planned opening in December 2026. The Laundry Attendant will join the founding Housekeeping team and help prepare clean, fresh linens for the spa’s guests. The role is anticipated to start between mid- and late November 2026.

The Laundry Attendant processes, inspects, organizes, stores and distributes towels, robes, slippers and other washable items. The position supports a clean, comfortable guest experience by maintaining linen quality, meeting changing production needs, and keeping laundry and storage areas safe and organized. This is a full-time, on-site position with hours scheduled according to business and operational needs. The role requires flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays, with additional flexibility during pre-opening and opening periods.

The work takes place primarily in a commercial laundry environment. It is physically active and involves standing and walking for extended periods; frequent bending, reaching, twisting and crouching; repetitive sorting and folding movements; and regularly lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling laundry, supplies, equipment and loaded carts. The laundry building is separate from the main spa building, so limited outdoor travel between buildings is required. Work areas may be warm, humid, noisy, and exposed to soiled linens, laundry chemicals, and wet or slippery surfaces. Appropriate equipment-safety procedures, chemical-handling practices and protective equipment must be used when required. The employee must be able to perform the position’s essential functions safely, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Previous laundry, housekeeping, guest-service or commercial-cleaning experience is an asset but is not required. Yora anticipates offering health and wellness benefits, paid time off, employee wellness privileges and discounted spa experiences, bistro and retail discounts, and learning and development opportunities. Employee benefit plans are being finalized; specific terms will be shared during recruitment and governed by applicable plan documents.
