Lodge Housekeeper (Game Reserve) – Fixed-Term

You'll turn rooms around at a boutique guesthouse in Germiston so every guest walks into a room that feels new. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Germiston; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room

• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights

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

• 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.
