Job Description

Careful, trained cleaners are wanted at a community health clinic in Prospecton. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

  • Do terminal cleans of isolation rooms after a patient is discharged
  • Mop spills of blood or fluids using the spill kit
  • Clean patient rooms using colour-coded cloths and mops for each area
  • Take soiled linen to the sluice room and bring clean linen back
  • Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward

Must-haves

  • Willing to follow strict infection control steps every time
  • Up to date with vaccinations the hospital requires, such as hepatitis B
  • Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty
  • Matric or Grade 11
  • Not squeamish about blood, vomit or medical waste
  • Calm under pressure in busy wards

Nice if you have

  • Knowledge of healthcare waste handling rules
  • Experience as a porter or general assistant in healthcare

What you get

  • Medical aid option through the employer
  • Meal on shift at the staff canteen
  • Shift allowances for nights and Sundays
  • On-the-job infection control training

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): references from healthcare cleaning work, certified ID copy and matric certificate plus vaccination record or clinic card.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Prospecton.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • 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.
