Job Description

Handle grievances with notes, dates and a clear written outcome.
Track leave, absenteeism and sick notes and act on patterns.
Run exit interviews and report turnover each quarter.
Coordinate training and submit SETA grant claims on time.
Run onboarding, contracts and probation reviews for new staff.

You'll need

CCMA experience, at least at conciliation
Solid working knowledge of the LRA, BCEA and EEA
Good report writing and Excel
At least 3 years as an HR officer or generalist
A degree or diploma in HR management, labour relations or industrial psychology
Valid driver's licence for multi-site roles

Helpful, not essential

SABPP registration
Experience on a unionised site or in a bargaining council sector

On offer

Annual performance bonus
