How to apply for this job

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Umhlanga really suit you before you apply.

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

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.

How to stand out

Walk in with your CV between 2pm and 4pm when managers have time, not during lunch or dinner service.
Recruiters ask about a difficult table, so have one real story ready about how you turned it around.
