Housekeeping Supervisor (Boutique Hotel)

Housekeeping at a boutique guesthouse in Fourways is steady work with room to grow into supervising. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Fourways, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers

• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Well groomed
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Grade 10 or matric

• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience
• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate

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