Job Description

Guests at a conference hotel in eMalahleni will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

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

What your day looks like

  • Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
  • Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
  • Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
  • Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
  • Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room

Must-haves

  • Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
  • Well groomed
  • Grade 10 or matric
  • Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
  • Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: any hospitality training certificates, CV listing hotels or guesthouses with dates plus ID copy with a recent certification stamp.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around eMalahleni.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Mention seasonal availability for December and Easter. Coastal and lodge properties hire heavily before those peaks.
  • Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
