Hessequa Temporary HR Clerks: Two Riversdale Posts Paying R11,120.63 Monthly
Hessequa temporary HR clerks are being recruited for two municipal posts in Riversdale. Each advertises R11,120.63 per month, with contracts running from 9 November 2026 to 26 February 2027. Applications close on 27 October 2026; no closing hour is stated.
Two roles with different responsibilities
The Performance Management and Employee Wellness clerk, reference PM121, supports performance agreements, assessments, probation records, reports, minutes and wellness administration.
The Recruitment and Selection clerk, reference R&S110, assists with checks, longlists, applications, advertisements, interview arrangements and recruitment records. The two roles share an HR setting, but applicants should use the correct reference and tailor their explanation to the relevant work.
Hessequa temporary HR clerks: qualifications and skills
The official advert requires Grade 12, an NQF Level 5 certificate, a Code B driving licence, computer literacy, administrative and communication skills, and the ability to communicate in two Western Cape official languages. Two to five years of HR experience is described as a recommendation.
These are temporary appointments, not permanent positions. Consider whether the contract dates and location fit your circumstances before applying. Do not assume that a temporary appointment will be extended or converted to permanent employment.
Show the experience relevant to your chosen post
As practical CV guidance, identify genuine examples of handling records, following up on documents and organising work accurately. For PM121, an example involving schedules, reports or assessment records may be useful. For R&S110, explain any real experience arranging interviews, communicating with applicants or maintaining a recruitment file.
Protect confidential information when describing your work. You can explain the process you followed without naming employees, disclosing medical details or attaching private HR records. Distinguish supporting a decision from making the decision yourself.
How to apply for the Hessequa temporary HR clerks posts
Use the municipal e-recruitment portal. Alternatively, use the required municipal application form and send it to applications@hessequa.gov.za, hand-deliver it to a Hessequa municipal office, or post it to Human Resources, PO Box 29, Riversdale, 6670.
Read the full official listing before submission. Allow delivery time and retain proof of your application.
Prepare a clear, role-specific application
Before choosing a reference, read the responsibilities of both Hessequa temporary HR clerks posts. A performance-management application should make the connection to accurate records, follow-up and report preparation clear. A recruitment application should explain relevant work with applications, arrangements and correspondence. These are practical suggestions for presenting your own experience, not additional municipal selection requirements.
Make a short checklist from the official notice and required application form. Check your contact details, qualification information and driving-licence details against your supporting records. If you describe a computer skill, explain a task you have actually performed with it rather than listing software you have never used.
Plan for the full temporary contract period before submitting. Consider transport to Riversdale, the starting date and your availability through the final contract date. Do not resign from another role or make financial commitments on the assumption that an application will lead to an appointment.
For an emailed application, confirm the recipient and check that all required attachments open correctly. If using post or hand delivery, allow enough time for receipt before the closing date. Keep a copy of the completed form and the submission confirmation available for your own records.
