Laundry Attendant (Hotel Linen Room)

Housekeeping at a city business hotel in George is steady work with room to grow into supervising. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is in George (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room

• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Grade 10 or matric
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift

• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate
• Speaking a foreign language for tourist guests

• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges

• 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.
