Housekeeping Supervisor (Boutique Hotel)

Housekeeping at a game lodge in East London is steady work with room to grow into supervising. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights

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

• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
