Theatre Cleaner (Private Hospital)

You'll keep a private hospital in Rosslyn safe for patients by cleaning the way infection control demands. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

Location: Rosslyn, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Clean patient rooms using colour-coded cloths and mops for each area
• Do terminal cleans of isolation rooms after a patient is discharged
• Take soiled linen to the sluice room and bring clean linen back
• Fill in cleaning logs so infection control can audit the ward
• Handle and bag medical waste in the right coloured bins
• Disinfect bed rails, call bells and bedside lockers

• Not squeamish about blood, vomit or medical waste
• Calm under pressure in busy wards
• Up to date with vaccinations the hospital requires, such as hepatitis B
• Willing to follow strict infection control steps every time
• Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty
• Matric or Grade 11

• An infection prevention and control short course
• Knowledge of healthcare waste handling rules
• Previous hospital or clinic cleaning experience

• Meal on shift at the staff canteen
• On-the-job infection control training
• Shift allowances for nights and Sundays

• Mention any hospital, clinic or old-age home work first, even if it was short. Healthcare recruiters shortlist people who know ward routines.
• If you did an infection control course, attach the certificate. It moves you ahead of general cleaners.
