Housekeeping Supervisor (Boutique Hotel)

You'll turn rooms around at a beachfront holiday resort in Ermelo so every guest walks into a room that feels new. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Ermelo-based, with most of your time spent at a beachfront holiday resort.

• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift

• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Well groomed
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season

• Speaking a foreign language for tourist guests
• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience
• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate

• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Share of the service charge or guest tips
• Uniform supplied and laundered

• If you worked in a star-graded hotel, say which grading. It tells them the standard you already know.
• Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
