Maintenance Assistant (School Grounds & Buildings)

You'll fix what breaks and prevent what might, around the retirement village in Lephalale. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

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