Neighbourhood Better Living Belleville is currently hiring a permanent part-time Laundry Aide for our brand-new 160-bed long-term care home, opening spring 2026. This is an opportunity to join a facility still in its pre-admission phase, where your experience, your ideas, and your attention to detail will help build a culture of comfort, dignity, and quality from day one. If you are looking for stable part-time work with a supportive team and a genuine opportunity to contribute, this role offers something most laundry positions do not: a chance to be part of something from the beginning.
Company Overview
Neighbourhood Better Living Belleville Inc. is a new long-term care home developed in partnership with UniversalCare Canada Inc., our family members, employees, and community partners. We are deliberately moving away from institutional models and toward genuine neighbourhood-style living, where residents do not just occupy rooms they belong to a home.
Our culture is still being written, and our team members are the ones holding the pen. We prioritize kindness over hierarchy, collaboration over silos, and continuous learning over stagnant routines. Here, your voice is heard, your contributions are visible, and your growth is treated as our shared responsibility. If you have ever felt like just a number in a larger system, you will not find that here.
