Guesthouse Housekeeper

Check-out to check-in in under an hour, room after room, at a beachfront holiday resort in Potchefstroom. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Potchefstroom, North West, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Clean bathrooms, replace towels and restock guest toiletries
• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Vacuum, dust and check the minibar in each room
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers

Must-haves

• Quick and thorough, with a target of about 14 to 16 rooms a shift
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
• Grade 10 or matric
• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Well groomed

What you get

• Uniform supplied and laundered
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
• Share of the service charge or guest tips

How to apply

1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV listing hotels or guesthouses with dates, any hospitality training certificates plus ID copy with a recent certification stamp.
3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 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 Potchefstroom.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

• Mention seasonal availability for December and Easter. Coastal and lodge properties hire heavily before those peaks.
• If you worked in a star-graded hotel, say which grading. It tells them the standard you already know.
