Public Area Cleaner (Hotel) – Fixed-Term

Housekeeping at a conference hotel in George is steady work with room to grow into supervising. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in George, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry

• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Well groomed
• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses

• Experience with industrial laundry machines
• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience
• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate

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

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