Education, knowledge and eligibility

Applicants must hold a Grade 12 certificate at NQF Level 4 or an equivalent qualification. The circular states that applicants must have no criminal record and no pending cases. These conditions apply in addition to the education requirement.

The advert requires knowledge of clerical practices, data capture, computer operation and collecting statistics. Applicants should understand the legislative framework governing the Public Service and the work procedures relevant to their environment. The Security Management portal also describes basic supply-chain knowledge, which matches the procurement support included in the duties.

Communication, interpersonal relations, flexibility, teamwork, planning and organisation are listed competencies. Good verbal and written communication and appropriate language skills form part of the advertised profile. Although no employment experience is required, applicants must still meet these knowledge and capability requirements.

Records and day-to-day clerical work

The role includes capturing, storing, organising and retrieving correspondence and information. The clerk maintains registers, statistics, filing systems and incoming and outgoing document records. The work also includes responding to routine enquiries, copying documents, typing correspondence and distributing documents or packages to the relevant stakeholders.

Keeping records accurate and accessible is part of the job itself. The vacancy is not limited to reception duties or a single data-entry system: the department describes support across the component’s administrative functions.

Supply chain, personnel and finance duties

• Obtain quotations and complete procurement forms for ordinary office purchases, while liaising with internal and external stakeholders.
• Control office stationery stock and maintain the component’s asset register.
• Update leave, personnel and attendance registers and arrange official travel and accommodation.
• Capture expenditure and check the correctness of subsistence and travel claims before submitting them for managerial approval.
• Handle the component’s telephone accounts and petty cash.

Salary, centre and reference

The salary is R237,453 per year plus service benefits. The exact reference is REFS/056966. The official portal records one post. No monetary breakdown of the additional service benefits is published.

This opportunity is for Security Management. The circular identifies Security Management at Head Office in Johannesburg, and the portal lists the Security Management directorate. This is an administrative support post, not a security-officer recruitment.

Use the new Z83 form effective from 1 January 2021 and a recently updated, comprehensive CV. Complete Parts A to D. Where the limited space in Parts E to G requires a reference to the CV, the CV must actually contain the requested information.

The question about conditions preventing reappointment in Part F must be answered, and the declaration must be completed and signed. The initial application is the signed Z83 and CV; certified qualifications are requested from shortlisted applicants. Foreign qualifications must have a South African Qualifications Authority evaluation certificate.

The department applies employment-equity considerations and encourages applications from youth and people with disabilities, as well as the underrepresented groups specified in its notice. Its instructions require applicants declaring a disability to attach confirmation from a registered medical practitioner.
