Guesthouse Housekeeper – Permanent

Guests at a boutique guesthouse in Ballito will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Ballito; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries

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

• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Uniform supplied and laundered

• 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.
