Job Description

Help a hospital personnel office in Prospecton look after its people, one form and one query at a time. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a hospital personnel office in Prospecton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Take minutes at hearings and HR meetings.
  • Archive old records and follow the retention periods for HR files.
  • Set up new staff files and check that all onboarding forms are signed.
  • Help organise wellness days, long-service awards and staff events.
  • Answer staff questions on policies, leave balances and benefits.
  • Book pre-employment medicals and qualification checks.
  • Load job ads and do first-round CV sorting for the recruiter.

Must-haves

  • Good MS Office skills, especially Word and Excel
  • Matric plus an HR certificate, diploma or degree (or currently studying)
  • Discreet with personal and medical information
  • Basic understanding of the BCEA leave rules

What's in it for you

  • Mentorship from a senior HR practitioner
  • Monthly internship stipend for graduate roles
  • Study support toward an HR qualification
  • A clear route to HR officer after 12 to 24 months

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: a short cover letter saying which part of HR interests you, certified copy of your smart ID card or green ID book plus certified copies of your qualifications and academic record.
  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 8 working days, usually by phone.
