Public Area Cleaner (Hotel)

Check-out to check-in in under an hour, room after room, at a game lodge in Richards Bay. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
