Evening Turndown Housekeeper – Immediate Start

Housekeeping at a conference hotel in eMalahleni is steady work with room to grow into supervising. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is eMalahleni-based, with most of your time spent at a conference hotel. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day

• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Grade 10 or matric
• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses

• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Share of the service charge or guest tips
• Uniform supplied and laundered

• Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
• If you worked in a star-graded hotel, say which grading. It tells them the standard you already know.
