Frail Care Centre Cleaner

Patients and nurses in Centurion rely on this day surgery clinic being spotless every shift. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Centurion-based, with most of your time spent at a day surgery clinic. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Clean patient rooms using colour-coded cloths and mops for each area
• Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward
• Wear gowns, masks and gloves as each room requires
• Do terminal cleans of isolation rooms after a patient is discharged
• Move patients' belongings and equipment when rooms change

• Up to date with vaccinations the hospital requires, such as hepatitis B
• Calm under pressure in busy wards
• Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty
• Not squeamish about blood, vomit or medical waste
• Matric or Grade 11
• Respectful and discreet around patients

• Knowledge of healthcare waste handling rules
• An infection prevention and control short course
• Previous hospital or clinic cleaning experience

• Medical aid option through the employer
• On-the-job infection control training
• Meal on shift at the staff canteen

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