Guesthouse Housekeeper – Immediate Start

Check-out to check-in in under an hour, room after room, at a conference hotel in Pinetown. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

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

• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room

• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses

• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate
• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience
• Experience with industrial laundry machines

• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Share of the service charge or guest tips

• Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
• Mention seasonal availability for December and Easter. Coastal and lodge properties hire heavily before those peaks.
