CLEANER GRADE 15 – Ministry of Industries, Mines and Energy

Generally, a Cleaner Grade 15 position requires basic literacy and numeracy skills, often equivalent to a Grade 10 certificate. Prior experience in cleaning or maintenance roles, particularly within a professional office environment, is usually an added advantage.

Daily tasks typically involve maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in offices, meeting rooms, and common areas, including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and waste disposal. You would also be responsible for ensuring restrooms are clean and stocked with supplies.

Punctuality, reliability, and a strong work ethic are highly valued in the Namibian public service, including for general labor roles. Cleaners are expected to maintain professional conduct and uphold the Ministry's standards of hygiene and appearance.

While direct upward mobility within the cleaning grade itself may be limited, dedicated employees can sometimes progress to higher general worker grades with additional responsibilities. Opportunities for internal training or cross-functional roles might arise, potentially leading to positions requiring different skill sets.

Employees within the Namibian public service generally receive benefits in line with government regulations, which typically include annual leave, sick leave, and maternity/paternity leave. Access to government medical aid schemes and participation in a pension fund are also common provisions for permanent staff.

Applications usually require a completed government application form, certified copies of your qualifications, and an updated CV. Employers in Namibia seek candidates who demonstrate reliability, attention to detail, a positive attitude, and a commitment to maintaining high standards of cleanliness.
