Oxwash is re-engineering the laundry industry from the ground up. We aim to deliver clinically clean laundry, with net zero carbon emissions. This has never been accomplished, so we're determined to be the first truly sustainable on-demand laundry company in the world. We currently operate in Oxford, Cambridge and London (Battersea), with big plans to expand across the UK and enter the US market.

We're a tech company at heart and build our own software to power our sustainable laundries and logistics. We're venture-backed, having raised several rounds of funding from notable investors including Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter; Paul Forster, the founder of Indeed.com; and Reckitt, the corporate which owns the stain remover Vanish. We announced our ‘Oxwash, powered by Vanish’ partnership in early 2021.

We're looking for incredible people with the passion and skills to deliver our Oxwash mission. Working for a fast growing startup is not your standard 9-5. This may be the toughest job you've ever done, but also the most rewarding! As part of your role, we expect you to help reduce our environmental impact by becoming a role model for sustainability.

We need a permanent, full-time Trainee Laundry Assistant to help run our sustainable laundry in Battersea, London. Our ideal candidate is an enthusiastic team player with a strong work ethic and exceptional attention to detail.

Previous laundry or dry cleaning experience is not essential, we will provide full training in our unique laundry, wet cleaning and finishing techniques.

When not doing laundry, you'll be expected to assist with deliveries using one of our electric cargo bikes.
