Job Description

You'll handle the full HR cycle for a manufacturing plant in Soweto, from hiring to hearings. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Location: Soweto, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What your day looks like

  • Coordinate training and submit SETA grant claims on time.
  • Handle grievances with notes, dates and a clear written outcome.
  • Represent the company at CCMA conciliations and arbitrations.
  • Chair or initiate disciplinary hearings and write up the outcome.
  • Run onboarding, contracts and probation reviews for new staff.
  • Track leave, absenteeism and sick notes and act on patterns.
  • Run exit interviews and report turnover each quarter.

Must-haves

  • Valid driver's licence for multi-site roles
  • Solid working knowledge of the LRA, BCEA and EEA
  • Good report writing and Excel
  • A degree or diploma in HR management, labour relations or industrial psychology
  • CCMA experience, at least at conciliation

What's in it for you

  • CPD and SABPP fees paid
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Medical aid and provident fund contributions

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a CV listing CCMA cases and hearings you have handled plus proof of SABPP registration, if registered.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.
