Job Description

You'll handle the full HR cycle for a private hospital in Alberton, from hiring to hearings. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Alberton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Chair or initiate disciplinary hearings and write up the outcome.
  • Track leave, absenteeism and sick notes and act on patterns.
  • Compile the Employment Equity report and the Workplace Skills Plan.
  • Represent the company at CCMA conciliations and arbitrations.
  • Handle grievances with notes, dates and a clear written outcome.
  • Advise line managers on the Labour Relations Act and the BCEA.
  • Run exit interviews and report turnover each quarter.

Must-haves

  • CCMA experience, at least at conciliation
  • Confident facilitating hard conversations with managers and unions
  • At least 3 years as an HR officer or generalist
  • Good report writing and Excel
  • Solid working knowledge of the LRA, BCEA and EEA
  • A degree or diploma in HR management, labour relations or industrial psychology

Nice if you have

  • SABPP registration
  • Experience on a unionised site or in a bargaining council sector
  • HR system experience such as Sage 300 People or PaySpace

What you get

  • CPD and SABPP fees paid
  • Company car or travel allowance for site visits
  • Medical aid and provident fund contributions

  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.
