Laundry Attendant (Hotel Linen Room)

Housekeeping at a game lodge in Mokopane is steady work with room to grow into supervising. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Mokopane, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date

• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Well groomed

• Share of the service charge or guest tips
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Uniform supplied and laundered

• 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.
