Public Area Cleaner (Hotel)

You'll turn rooms around at a beachfront holiday resort in Bloemfontein so every guest walks into a room that feels new. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

Location: Bloemfontein, Free State. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room

• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Well groomed
• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift

• Speaking a foreign language for tourist guests
• Experience with industrial laundry machines

• Share of the service charge or guest tips
