What the work involves
There is one vacancy at each centre. Use HR4/4/6/47 for Phalaborwa, HR4/4/6/48 for Lebowakgomo and HR4/4/4/09/48 for Carletonville. Choosing a centre means using that centre’s reference and destination, rather than sending the same undifferentiated application to every office.
- Keep the office environment clean.
- Assist with food services.
- Help distribute stock.
- Assist with messenger functions.
Documents to prepare
Use the current Z83 employment application form and an up-to-date, comprehensive CV. Complete sections A, B, C and D in full. For sections E, F and G, the department allows a reference to the attached CV where space is limited, but the question about conditions preventing reappointment in section F must still be answered.
Initial and sign the Z83, including its declaration. Identify the correct job title, department and reference number. Each post needs its own application form. For an online submission, combine the Z83 and CV into one attachment.
Do not attach certified qualifications at the initial stage unless the employer subsequently requests them. Shortlisted candidates must supply the required certified documents on or before the interview date. Where applicable, foreign qualifications require SAQA evaluation at that stage.
