  • Support recruitment and selection for critical and strategic positions.
  • Ensure recruitment activities align with Employment Equity requirements and organisational objectives.

  • Monitor performance-management compliance and effectiveness.
  • Support the implementation of performance improvement plans.

Organisational Development & Change Management

  • Support organisational restructuring, transformation and change initiatives.
  • Conduct impact assessments and assist with change-management plans.
  • Facilitate communication and stakeholder engagement during organisational change.
  • Support leadership-development and capability-building programmes.
  • Assist management in implementing organisational-development initiatives.

Human Capital Reporting & Analytics

  • Support the Human Capital Manager with workforce and headcount planning.
  • Ensure new appointments, terminations and employee status changes are processed accurately.
  • Maintain accurate employee files and records.
  • Assist employees with HR queries and payroll-related matters.
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly Human Capital reports.
  • Monitor and analyse key people metrics.
  • Provide meaningful Human Capital insights to management.

Minimum Requirements

  • Degree or Diploma in Human Resources, Industrial Psychology, Labour Relations, Business Administration or a related field.
  • Minimum 5–8 years' Human Resources generalist experience.
