Job Description

Help a head office people department in Bellville look after its people, one form and one query at a time. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a head office people department in Bellville. 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.

  • Enrol new staff on medical aid and retirement funds and process exits.
  • Answer staff questions on policies, leave balances and benefits.
  • Book training, track attendance and load results for the skills report.
  • Help organise wellness days, long-service awards and staff events.
  • Load job ads and do first-round CV sorting for the recruiter.
  • Archive old records and follow the retention periods for HR files.

You'll need

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

Extra points for

  • Sage 300 People, PaySpace or another HR system
  • Knowledge of SETA processes and the Skills Development Act
  • Any HR admin or internship experience

What's in it for you

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