Housekeeping Supervisor (Boutique Hotel)

You'll turn rooms around at a boutique guesthouse in Randburg so every guest walks into a room that feels new. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Home base is a boutique guesthouse on the Randburg side of Gauteng.
