  • Help organise wellness days, long-service awards and staff events.
  • Book pre-employment medicals and qualification checks.
  • Load job ads and do first-round CV sorting for the recruiter.
  • Answer staff questions on policies, leave balances and benefits.
  • Book training, track attendance and load results for the skills report.
  • Enrol new staff on medical aid and retirement funds and process exits.
  • Prepare employment contracts, offer letters and confirmation letters.

What you need

  • Basic understanding of the BCEA leave rules
  • Friendly and approachable with staff at every level
  • Willing to learn and follow HR procedures closely
  • Neat, organised filing habits
  • Good MS Office skills, especially Word and Excel
  • Matric plus an HR certificate, diploma or degree (or currently studying)

What's in it for you

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