Cleaning Team Leader (Office Park)

People notice a clean call centre floor; in Soweto, you would be the reason it shines. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a call centre floor in Soweto. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
