Public Area Cleaner (Hotel)

Guests at a boutique guesthouse in Alberton will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The work is in Alberton, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
