Frail Care Centre Cleaner – Immediate Start

Careful, trained cleaners are wanted at a private hospital in Tembisa. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is in Tembisa (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Disinfect bed rails, call bells and bedside lockers
• Wear gowns, masks and gloves as each room requires
• Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward
• Clean patient rooms using colour-coded cloths and mops for each area
• Take soiled linen to the sluice room and bring clean linen back
• Clean theatres between operations to the hospital's turnaround times
• Do terminal cleans of isolation rooms after a patient is discharged

• Matric or Grade 11
• Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty
• Respectful and discreet around patients
• Willing to follow strict infection control steps every time

• Knowledge of healthcare waste handling rules
• An infection prevention and control short course
• Experience as a porter or general assistant in healthcare

• On-the-job infection control training
• Medical aid option through the employer
• 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.
