Guesthouse Housekeeper – Fixed-Term

Guests at a conference hotel in Germiston 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 Germiston; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
