Who can apply?
Matric, basically. A Grade 12 certificate or equivalent is the one hard requirement, and since no experience is asked for, this could suit someone who’s finished school and wants a way into HR admin in government.
The advert does mention a few things it’d help to know your way around, though. It talks about PERSAL and HR information management systems, registry work, data capturing and general computer operations. It also expects a working grasp of the laws that govern the Public Service, plus how records get stored and pulled again in an office setting.
Skills they’re after
On top of the qualification, the department wants people who can handle the everyday side of office life:
Communication, computer literacy, a bit of creative thinking, presentation and report writing, time management, organising and planning, and problem solving.
What does the job actually involve?
You’d be backing up the various HR admin functions. The advert spells out things like helping run recruitment and selection, and dealing with the nuts and bolts of conditions of service — leave, housing, medical matters, injury on duty, long service recognition, overtime, relocation, pension, allowances, PILIR and the rest of it.
There’s also the performance management side to help with, and you’d be the person answering HR admin queries as they come in.

Before you hit submit
Double-check the title and reference number are on there. It’s a small thing that trips people up. And because they’re not asking for experience, let your CV do the talking on your Grade 12 and any computer, admin, HR, registry or data-capturing know-how you’ve picked up.
One important gap: the information supplied for this article doesn’t include a closing date. So before you send anything, check the official vacancy notice or the online system for the actual deadline — don’t leave it to chance.
