• Clean patient rooms using colour-coded cloths and mops for each area
• Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward
• Do terminal cleans of isolation rooms after a patient is discharged
• Handle and bag medical waste in the right coloured bins
• Clean theatres between operations to the hospital's turnaround times
• Take soiled linen to the sluice room and bring clean linen back

• Calm under pressure in busy wards
• Up to date with vaccinations the hospital requires, such as hepatitis B
• Not squeamish about blood, vomit or medical waste
• Matric or Grade 11

• Experience as a porter or general assistant in healthcare
• Previous hospital or clinic cleaning experience

• On-the-job infection control training
• Shift allowances for nights and Sundays
• Medical aid option through the employer

• Mention any hospital, clinic or old-age home work first, even if it was short. Healthcare recruiters shortlist people who know ward routines.
• If you did an infection control course, attach the certificate. It moves you ahead of general cleaners.
