Infection Control Cleaner

You'll keep a private hospital in Springs safe for patients by cleaning the way infection control demands. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Springs, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
