Evening Turndown Housekeeper

Housekeeping at a boutique guesthouse in Paarl is steady work with room to grow into supervising. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Paarl, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date

• Well groomed
• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Grade 10 or matric

• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience
• Experience with industrial laundry machines

• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges

• Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
• Mention seasonal availability for December and Easter. Coastal and lodge properties hire heavily before those peaks.
