Guesthouse Housekeeper – Fixed-Term

You'll turn rooms around at a beachfront holiday resort in Khayelitsha so every guest walks into a room that feels new. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll report in Khayelitsha. Relocation is not covered for this one.
