Evening Turndown Housekeeper – Immediate Start

Guests at a boutique guesthouse in Thohoyandou will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Thohoyandou, Limpopo. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry

• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights

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

• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience
• Speaking a foreign language for tourist guests
• Experience with industrial laundry machines

• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Share of the service charge or guest tips
