Guest Room Attendant (Lodge)

Housekeeping at a city business hotel in Bellville is steady work with room to grow into supervising. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Home base is a city business hotel on the Bellville side of Western Cape. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board

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

• Speaking a foreign language for tourist guests
• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate

• Share of the service charge or guest tips
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges

• If you worked in a star-graded hotel, say which grading. It tells them the standard you already know.
