Guest Room Attendant (Lodge)

Housekeeping at a beachfront holiday resort in Rosslyn is steady work with room to grow into supervising. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Rosslyn (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day

• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Grade 10 or matric
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Well groomed

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

• 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.
