Job Description

Early starts, clear routines and a steady contract at an university campus in Mthatha. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is Mthatha-based, with most of your time spent at an university campus.

The work, day to day

  • Refill toilet paper, hand towel and soap dispensers
  • Wipe desks, door handles, lift buttons and light switches
  • Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors following the daily cleaning schedule
  • Mix cleaning chemicals at the dilution shown on the label, never by guesswork
  • Clean glass doors and internal windows without streaks

What you need

  • You take pride in a job done properly, even when nobody checks
  • Able to stand, bend and walk for a full shift
  • Clean criminal record for most corporate sites
  • Honest, because you work around laptops and personal items
  • Comfortable using cleaning chemicals safely with gloves
  • Grade 10 or higher

Helpful, not essential

  • Tea service or kitchen experience
  • Training on a floor polisher or scrubber machine

What's in it for you

  • Paid overtime for weekend deep cleans
  • Permanent contract once the site contract is secured
  • Uniform and cleaning gloves provided
  • UIF and paid leave under the cleaning sector rules

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified copy of your ID plus police clearance certificate if the site requires it.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  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 Mthatha.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Mention any machines you can use, like a scrubber or polisher. Machine cleaners are harder to find and often get picked first.
  • Ask a former supervisor if you can put their number on your CV. Cleaning contractors almost always phone a reference.
