Guest Room Attendant (Lodge) – Experienced

Check-out to check-in in under an hour, room after room, at a boutique guesthouse in Sandton. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Sandton, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day

• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Grade 10 or matric
• Well groomed
• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone

• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• 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.
• Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
