Lodge Housekeeper (Game Reserve)

You'll turn rooms around at a city business hotel in Vanderbijlpark so every guest walks into a room that feels new. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Location: Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• 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

• Speaking a foreign language for tourist guests
• Experience with industrial laundry machines
• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate

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

• Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
• If you worked in a star-graded hotel, say which grading. It tells them the standard you already know.
