Clinic Cleaner (Day Shift)

Clean really matters at a day surgery clinic in eMalahleni; here it stops infections spreading. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is eMalahleni-based, with most of your time spent at a day surgery clinic.

• Do terminal cleans of isolation rooms after a patient is discharged
• Take soiled linen to the sluice room and bring clean linen back
• Clean patient rooms using colour-coded cloths and mops for each area
• Handle and bag medical waste in the right coloured bins
• Clean theatres between operations to the hospital's turnaround times
• Disinfect bed rails, call bells and bedside lockers

• Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty
• Willing to follow strict infection control steps every time
• Calm under pressure in busy wards
• Not squeamish about blood, vomit or medical waste
• Respectful and discreet around patients
• Matric or Grade 11

• Meal on shift at the staff canteen
• Medical aid option through the employer
• Shift allowances for nights and Sundays
• On-the-job infection control training

• If you did an infection control course, attach the certificate. It moves you ahead of general cleaners.
• In the interview, explain how you clean an isolation room step by step. It is a common question and a quick way to stand out.
