This post is in Cape Town CBD (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day

• Grade 10 or matric
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor

• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season

• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Share of the service charge or guest tips
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
