Here is a clean, professional, fully rewritten version of the vacancy ad with all added information included clearly and appropriately:

Vacancy: Ice Cream Van Driver & Server – Cape Town

We are looking for a reliable, energetic, friendly, and hardworking individual to join our team as an Ice Cream Van Driver and Server in the Cape Town area. This position requires weekend availability and is ideal for a responsible senior individual or a driven young person comfortable with flexible working hours.

About the Role

You will:

• Drive the ice cream van to designated locations
• Set up, serve customers, and maintain a clean, professional workspace
• Work closely with children and parents — excellent manners and sober habits are essential
• Attend events, which may include special or extended hours
• Work toward monthly sales targets, offering strong earning potential

This is a fun and rewarding role suited to someone who enjoys customer interaction, outdoor work, and a lively atmosphere.

Training, Probation & Hiring Process

• Training will be provided
• All applicants will complete a 3-day probation period at R30/hour, hired on a casual basis
• This period assesses commitment, reliability, and ability to perform the required tasks
• If successful, you will receive a 3-month temporary contract
• After the 3-month term, a permanent position may be offered based on performance

Transport Requirements (Very Important)

• Public transport is not available after 19:00, and most working days end after this time
• You MUST have your own private transport — we will not accept candidates who say they will "make arrangements," as this has proven unreliable
• Candidates living close to the Blackheath area will be preferred

Requirements

• Availability Wednesday to Sunday
• General working hours: 10:00–17:30/19:00 (hours vary during peak season)
• Valid Code 8 (minimum) driver's licence
• Clear police record (formal certificate not required, but we cannot consider applicants with prior convictions)
• Fluent, well-spoken English (Afrikaans an advantage)
• Ability to handle cash, count stock, and perform basic math
• Sober habits, good manners, and strong customer-service skills
• Non-smokers preferred

CV & Application Requirements

• CVs must be clear, readable, and professionally presented
• General or incomplete CVs will be automatically disqualified
• Applicants must answer all pre-requisite questions — failure to do so will result in disqualification

Compensation & Benefits

• Basic salary + monthly commission based on sales targets
• Commission paid on a rolling monthly basis
• Peak-season hours increase earning potential
• Basic Medical Aid (Momentum) provided once a permanent contract is offered
• During your first month (after probation), only the basic salary is paid; commission applies thereafter

Please Note

This role requires working most weekends. Ensure that your lifestyle and availability align with this requirement before applying.

If you want, I can also create:

• a short WhatsApp/post version
• a graphic-style social media caption
• a version with bullet-pointed screening questions for applicants
