Guesthouse Housekeeper – Permanent

Housekeeping at a beachfront holiday resort in Polokwane is steady work with room to grow into supervising. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Polokwane, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date

• 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
• Well groomed
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Grade 10 or matric

• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience
• Experience with industrial laundry machines

• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• 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.
