Laundry Attendant (Hotel Linen Room)

Check-out to check-in in under an hour, room after room, at a game lodge in Polokwane. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

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