Lodge Housekeeper (Game Reserve) – Fixed-Term

Guests at a boutique guesthouse in Alberton will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

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

• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries

• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Grade 10 or matric

• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate
• Experience with industrial laundry machines
• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience

• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Share of the service charge or guest tips

• Mention seasonal availability for December and Easter. Coastal and lodge properties hire heavily before those peaks.
• Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
