Guest Room Attendant (Lodge)

Guests at a beachfront holiday resort in Centurion will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Centurion-based, with most of your time spent at a beachfront holiday resort.

• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers

• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Well groomed

• Speaking a foreign language for tourist guests
• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience

• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Share of the service charge or guest tips

• If you worked in a star-graded hotel, say which grading. It tells them the standard you already know.
• Mention seasonal availability for December and Easter. Coastal and lodge properties hire heavily before those peaks.
