Clinic Cleaner (Day Shift)

You'll keep a community health clinic in Isando safe for patients by cleaning the way infection control demands. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Isando, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Disinfect bed rails, call bells and bedside lockers
• Mop spills of blood or fluids using the spill kit
• Take soiled linen to the sluice room and bring clean linen back
• Wear gowns, masks and gloves as each room requires
• Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward

• Calm under pressure in busy wards
• Respectful and discreet around patients
• Not squeamish about blood, vomit or medical waste
• Matric or Grade 11
• Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty
• Up to date with vaccinations the hospital requires, such as hepatitis B

• An infection prevention and control short course
• Experience as a porter or general assistant in healthcare
• Previous hospital or clinic cleaning experience

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

• 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.
