This post is Fourways-based, with most of your time spent at a community health clinic. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Move patients' belongings and equipment when rooms change
• Handle and bag medical waste in the right coloured bins
• Take soiled linen to the sluice room and bring clean linen back
• Do terminal cleans of isolation rooms after a patient is discharged
• Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward

• Matric or Grade 11
• Not squeamish about blood, vomit or medical waste
• Willing to follow strict infection control steps every time
• Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty

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

• 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.
