ADMIN CLERK HR&A

This position offers an entry-level opportunity within the Mpumalanga provincial administration, specifically based at the Nkangala District office in Victor Khanye. As an Administrative Clerk focused on Human Resources and Administration, the successful candidate will be part of a team responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of office and HR support functions. The role is ideal for a candidate who has recently completed a relevant qualification and is looking to begin a career in the public service, as no prior work experience is required. The post is graded at Level 05, reflecting its clerical and administrative nature within the broader government structure.

Applicants must hold a Grade 12 certificate as well as a Higher Certificate in Office Administration, Public Administration, or Human Resources at NQF Level 5. While experience is not a prerequisite, computer literacy is essential, with particular emphasis on the PERSAL system, which is the personnel and salary administration system used across the public sector. The department is looking for someone with solid office administration skills, the ability to manage records and correspondence, and proficiency in data capture. Strong client service orientation, accurate reporting abilities, and general computer proficiency are also key competencies for this role.

The core duties of the position involve providing administrative support across the unit, maintaining accurate records, and processing transactions and correspondence in line with departmental procedures. The clerk will also support the management of resources, assist clients with their queries, and contribute to reporting requirements. This means the role is both operational and supportive, requiring attention to detail, organisational ability, and a service-driven mindset.

There are several important conditions attached to this vacancy. Only shortlisted candidates will be required to submit certified documents, and those with foreign qualifications must have them evaluated by SAQA before the interview stage. Applicants must also disclose any business interests or remunerative work outside their normal duties, and successful candidates will be expected to enter into an Annual Performance Agreement and disclose their financial interests annually. The selection process may include practical exercises, integrity assessments, and personnel suitability checks covering criminal records, citizenship, qualifications, and references. The department reserves the right not to fill the post, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. If no feedback is received within three months after the closing date, applicants should consider their application unsuccessful. This is a structured, compliance-driven environment, and the role offers a solid foundation for those seeking to grow within the public service.
