Cleaner (post level 18) Jobs: University of The Free State

Alright, let’s tackle this job advertisement rewrite. First, I need to understand the original content thoroughly. It’s for a Cleaner position at the University of the Free State. The key points include job title, location, duties, requirements, benefits, and application details.

I should start by organizing the information logically. The original is quite text-heavy and lacks clear sections. Breaking it into labeled sections will make it easier to read.

The job title and basic details come first. Then, I’ll list the key responsibilities, requirements, and competencies. The salary and benefits should be highlighted separately. Application instructions and deadlines are crucial, so they need to be clear.

I need to simplify the language without losing any important information. For example, “Inherent Job Requirements” can be “Requirements” and “Competencies” can stay as is but phrased more plainly.

I’ll also ensure that the formatting is clean. Using bullet points for duties and requirements will improve readability. The contact information and application deadline should stand out.

I should avoid any technical terms or HTML tags beyond what’s necessary. Since the user specified to start with a tag, I’ll wrap everything in that, but keep the rest as plain text with simple line breaks.

Let me double-check that all details from the original are included: Grade 10 requirement, experience, color-coding system preference, duties like cleaning and conference preparation, salary, benefits, and application methods.

I’ll also make sure to mention the University’s commitment to equity and POPIA compliance, as that’s important for legal and inclusivity reasons.

Finally, I’ll review the text to ensure it flows naturally and is professional but approachable. No jargon, just clear, concise information for potential applicants.
