Frail Care Centre Cleaner – Entry Level

You'll keep a frail care centre in Boksburg safe for patients by cleaning the way infection control demands. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Boksburg-based, with most of your time spent at a frail care centre.

• Move patients' belongings and equipment when rooms change
• Handle and bag medical waste in the right coloured bins
• Do terminal cleans of isolation rooms after a patient is discharged
• Wear gowns, masks and gloves as each room requires
• Mop spills of blood or fluids using the spill kit
• Clean theatres between operations to the hospital's turnaround times
• Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward

• Up to date with vaccinations the hospital requires, such as hepatitis B
• Calm under pressure in busy wards
• Matric or Grade 11
• Willing to follow strict infection control steps every time

• Experience as a porter or general assistant in healthcare
• An infection prevention and control short course

• Meal on shift at the staff canteen
• On-the-job infection control training
• Shift allowances for nights and Sundays

• Mention any hospital, clinic or old-age home work first, even if it was short. Healthcare recruiters shortlist people who know ward routines.
• If you did an infection control course, attach the certificate. It moves you ahead of general cleaners.
