Job Description

Steady household work in a townhouse in a security complex in Coega, with clear days and hours agreed upfront. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Coega; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Wash dishes and keep the kitchen tidy after meals
  • Clean windows and patio doors once a week
  • Keep a list of cleaning supplies running low for the employer
  • Wash, hang, iron and fold the household's laundry
  • Prepare simple meals or school lunches when asked
  • Get children ready for school and supervise homework in the afternoon

What you need

  • Trustworthy, with references from previous employers you can share
  • Neat, organised and able to work without being supervised
  • Able to handle a full-day physical routine
  • Willing to follow the family's house rules and routines
  • South African ID or valid work permit

Extra points for

  • Basic first aid or child CPR course
  • Cooking experience with family meals
  • A driver's licence for school lifts

What's in it for you

  • Paid annual leave and public holidays as the law requires
  • Transport money for live-out staff
  • Registered for UIF and COIDA by the employer

Applying, step by step

  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: two or three reference letters with contact numbers plus copy of your ID or work permit.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Families hire on trust, so make references your strongest part. Write the employer's name, suburb, years worked and phone number for each one.
  • Say plainly what you can and cannot do: cooking, ironing, childcare, driving. It avoids arguments later and families like honesty.
