Housekeeping Supervisor (Boutique Hotel)

You'll turn rooms around at a city business hotel in Brakpan so every guest walks into a room that feels new. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Brakpan (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers

• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Grade 10 or matric
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift

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

• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Share of the service charge or guest tips
• Uniform supplied and laundered

• 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.
