Lodge Housekeeper (Game Reserve)

Housekeeping at a game lodge in Welkom is steady work with room to grow into supervising. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Welkom; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
