Job Description

Cleaning, laundry and a hand with the kids: that is the week in a large estate home in Johannesburg CBD. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

The work, day to day

  • Help an elderly person with meals, medication reminders and light walking
  • Keep a list of cleaning supplies running low for the employer
  • Clean windows and patio doors once a week
  • Prepare simple meals or school lunches when asked
  • Water indoor plants and feed pets
  • Get children ready for school and supervise homework in the afternoon
  • Wash dishes and keep the kitchen tidy after meals

You'll need

  • Good with children and patient
  • Neat, organised and able to work without being supervised
  • Able to speak and understand basic English
  • Trustworthy, with references from previous employers you can share
  • Able to handle a full-day physical routine

What you get

  • Transport money for live-out staff
  • Paid annual leave and public holidays as the law requires
  • Written contract with fixed hours and duties
  • Registered for UIF and COIDA by the employer

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Johannesburg CBD really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): two or three reference letters with contact numbers, first-aid or childcare certificate if you have one plus copy of your ID or work permit.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Johannesburg CBD.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Families hire on trust, so make references your strongest part. Write the employer's name, suburb, years worked and phone number for each one.
  • Ask for a written contract and to be registered for UIF. Good employers expect the question and it protects you.
