Job Description

People issues land on your desk first at this private hospital in Germiston, and you'll sort them fairly. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Germiston, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What you'll actually do

  • Run exit interviews and report turnover each quarter.
  • Update HR policies when labour law changes.
  • Represent the company at CCMA conciliations and arbitrations.
  • Consult with shop stewards and attend union meetings.
  • Track leave, absenteeism and sick notes and act on patterns.
  • Handle grievances with notes, dates and a clear written outcome.
  • Coordinate training and submit SETA grant claims on time.

You'll need

  • Solid working knowledge of the LRA, BCEA and EEA
  • Confident facilitating hard conversations with managers and unions
  • Valid driver's licence for multi-site roles
  • Good report writing and Excel
  • At least 3 years as an HR officer or generalist
  • CCMA experience, at least at conciliation

Helpful, not essential

  • HR system experience such as Sage 300 People or PaySpace
  • SABPP registration
  • Skills development facilitator (SDF) training

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • Quantify your IR work: how many hearings, CCMA cases and outcomes; that is what HR managers check first.
