Job Description

This is a strong first step into HR at a retail distribution centre in Sandton. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at a retail distribution centre in Sandton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Capture leave, sick notes and family responsibility leave on the HR system.
  • Answer staff questions on policies, leave balances and benefits.
  • Book training, track attendance and load results for the skills report.
  • Set up new staff files and check that all onboarding forms are signed.
  • Help organise wellness days, long-service awards and staff events.

Must-haves

  • Good MS Office skills, especially Word and Excel
  • Willing to learn and follow HR procedures closely
  • Neat, organised filing habits
  • Discreet with personal and medical information
  • Basic understanding of the BCEA leave rules

Helpful, not essential

  • Sage 300 People, PaySpace or another HR system
  • Minute-taking training

What's in it for you

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

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 smart ID card or green ID book, certified copies of your qualifications and academic record plus a short cover letter saying which part of HR interests you.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.
