Chalet Housekeeper (Self-Catering Resort)

You'll clean and set up guest rooms at a conference hotel in Midrand to a checklist standard. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Midrand-based, with most of your time spent at a conference hotel. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Clean bathrooms, showers and toilets with the correct colour-coded cloths.
• Vacuum, mop and dust rooms from top to bottom.
• Mix chemicals safely and store them as the MSDS sheet shows.
• Hand in lost property with a written log entry.
• Restock minibars, amenities and tea trays and note what was used.

• Fit enough to lift mattresses and push trolleys all day
• Grade 10 or higher
• You can finish around 14 rooms in a shift
• Honest and trustworthy around guest belongings
• Hotel, guesthouse or domestic cleaning experience

• Laundry machine and steam press experience
• Basic first aid certificate
• A supervisor course or time spent running a floor

• Uniform and protective gloves supplied
• Monthly award for best room scores
• Staff transport from nearby townships for early shifts
• Meals on duty

• A clean, clear police clearance helps; mention it if you have a recent one.
• Many hotels recruit through walk-ins at the staff entrance, so ask for the housekeeping office and leave your CV there.
