Guesthouse Housekeeper

Check-out to check-in in under an hour, room after room, at a city business hotel in Epping. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Epping. Relocation is not covered for this one. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
