Hospital Ward Cleaner

Patients and nurses in Boksburg rely on this private hospital being spotless every shift. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Boksburg-based, with most of your time spent at a private hospital.

• Clean theatres between operations to the hospital's turnaround times
• Move patients' belongings and equipment when rooms change
• Mop spills of blood or fluids using the spill kit
• Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward
• Clean patient rooms using colour-coded cloths and mops for each area

• Willing to follow strict infection control steps every time
• Not squeamish about blood, vomit or medical waste
• Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty
• Calm under pressure in busy wards

• Knowledge of healthcare waste handling rules
• An infection prevention and control short course
• Experience as a porter or general assistant in healthcare

• On-the-job infection control training
• Medical aid option through the employer
• Shift allowances for nights and Sundays

• Mention any hospital, clinic or old-age home work first, even if it was short. Healthcare recruiters shortlist people who know ward routines.
• If you did an infection control course, attach the certificate. It moves you ahead of general cleaners.
