Cleaning duties may also include repetitive movements, moving cleaning equipment and lifting appropriate supplies or waste bags.

Applicants should consider whether they can safely perform these physical duties before applying.

Flexible hours and overtime explained

The official advert states that applicants should be willing to work flexible hours, including occasional early mornings, evenings or weekends where operationally required.

The role requires more than basic sweeping and mopping. It also includes hygiene control, consumable replenishment, waste separation, meeting-room preparation, maintenance reporting and compliance with workplace safety procedures.

Because the cleaner may work without direct supervision in office areas, honesty, professionalism and respect for workplace property are important.

Applicants should confirm the contract duration, remuneration, working hours, overtime arrangements, reporting location, start date and any background-check requirements directly with Lesaka Technologies if shortlisted.
