Public Area Cleaner (Hotel)

Guests at a boutique guesthouse in Pinetown will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

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

• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included

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

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

• 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.
