Theatre Cleaner (Private Hospital) – Experienced

Careful, trained cleaners are wanted at a community health clinic in Worcester. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Worcester-based, with most of your time spent at a community health clinic.

• Mop spills of blood or fluids using the spill kit
• Clean patient rooms using colour-coded cloths and mops for each area
• Clean theatres between operations to the hospital's turnaround times
• 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

• Able to work shifts including weekends and night duty
• Up to date with vaccinations the hospital requires, such as hepatitis B
• Calm under pressure in busy wards
• Matric or Grade 11

• Experience as a porter or general assistant in healthcare
• Previous hospital or clinic cleaning experience

• On-the-job infection control training
• Shift allowances for nights and Sundays
• Medical aid option through the employer

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