LAUNDRY SUPERVISOR JOB

DESCRIPTION
By Brooke Julia; Updated July 05, 2017

Laundry supervisors work in a variety of settings, from industrial laundering companies

to nursing homes and self-serve laundromats. As such, their exact duties differ from
business to business. As a general rule, laundry supervisors must be able to work long
hours on their feet, have strong attention to detail, be able to motivate others, and be
adept at resolving conflict.

Job Responsibilities
A laundry supervisor must make sure all the machines are running smoothly, that all
employees are doing their jobs properly and that customers are satisfied. If she works in
a commercial laundry, she ensures that items are thoroughly cleaned and ready for
delivery in a timely manner. In a hospital or nursing home, she's responsible for
collecting linens, inspecting them for wear and tear, cleaning them and returning them.
She also ensures that every resident or patient has an adequate supply of linens and
towels. She sees to it that the laundry area itself is clean and safe. She may make small
repairs to the washers and dryers and refer larger issues to maintenance. She might
also be in charge of hiring, training and scheduling employees.
