Laundry Worker Jobs in Spain | Salary, Benefits & Work Details

Laundry Worker jobs in Spain 2026 are hiring across Madrid, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and Málaga with a legal EU work permit, staff housing and a paid monthly EUR salary.

Spanish industrial-laundry contractors — Elis Spain (formerly Berendsen), ILUNION Lavanderías (ONCE group), Vayoil Textil, Christeyns Lavamatic and Lavanderías Cabot — plus in-house hotel laundries at NH, Meliá, Barceló, Iberostar and RIU are actively recruiting for the 2026 tourism-driven volume peaks. Freshers are welcome for the entry Laundry Helper grade, while Washing Machine Operator, Dryer / Calender Operator, Sorting & Folding, Ironing & Finishing and Line Team Lead grades suit candidates with 0–2 years experience. Every post is a proper Spanish contract under the sector Convenio Colectivo, with legally protected pay and rest days.

The gross monthly salary sits at €1,350 – €1,750 depending on the grade, paid by nómina into a Spanish bank account, with 30 days paid annual leave and Sunday work at 1.75× the base rate. Employers cover the long-stay work visa (Autorización de Residencia y Trabajo), process your TIE residence card after arrival, provide staff accommodation or a housing allowance, uniform, apron, gloves and non-slip shoes, plus enrolment into Seguridad Social so you get free public healthcare through the SNS from your first day at the industrial-laundry plant.

Open to workers from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Morocco and Latin America, plus EU/EEA nationals directly. Age 18–50, a valid passport, a clean police clearance and basic physical fitness for hot, humid laundry shifts are all that is needed. Apply through the online form below with your CV, passport photo and any laundry / textile certificates; the employer verifies documents, invites you to an online interview and processes the D visa file. Never pay an agent for the “job” or “visa” itself — a genuine Spanish laundry contractor always sponsors the visa at no cost to you.
