Job Description

People notice a clean government office building; in Mthatha, you would be the reason it shines. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

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

What your day looks like

  • Refill toilet paper, hand towel and soap dispensers
  • Clean glass doors and internal windows without streaks
  • Mix cleaning chemicals at the dilution shown on the label, never by guesswork
  • Set up and clear boardrooms before and after meetings
  • Sign the ablution checklist on the back of the door after each clean
  • Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors following the daily cleaning schedule
  • Clean and disinfect toilets, basins and urinals several times a shift

Must-haves

  • Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00
  • Able to stand, bend and walk for a full shift
  • Clean criminal record for most corporate sites
  • Honest, because you work around laptops and personal items
  • Comfortable using cleaning chemicals safely with gloves

Extra points for

  • Supervisory experience for team leader posts
  • Chemical handling training from a supplier or contractor
  • Previous contract cleaning experience with a reference

What you get

  • Uniform and cleaning gloves provided
  • Permanent contract once the site contract is secured
  • Paid overtime for weekend deep cleans

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: CV with references from previous cleaning sites, police clearance certificate if the site requires it plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • List each site you have cleaned (office, mall, school) and how long you stayed. Contractors want people who stick with a site.
  • Mention any machines you can use, like a scrubber or polisher. Machine cleaners are harder to find and often get picked first.
