Requirements and eligibility

• A relevant three-year qualification in Labour Relations, BCom Law or LLB, using the qualification wording in the advert.
• A valid driver’s licence.
• Knowledge of departmental procedures and relevant labour legislation, including the Skills Development, Labour Relations, Basic Conditions of Employment, Unemployment Insurance, Unemployment Insurance Contributions and Employment Equity laws.
• Facilitation, planning, organising, interpersonal, interviewing, problem-solving and analytical skills.

What the work involves

This is an inspection and enforcement opportunity for applicants with the specified legal or labour-relations education. It is not a generic matric administration role. Its duties include field inspections, investigations, communication and accurate case reporting.

• Carry out occupational inspections to check compliance with labour legislation.
• Investigate reported breaches and take enforcement steps where required.
• Conduct proactive blitz inspections.
• Support advocacy campaigns on assigned labour legislation.
• Help prepare inspection plans, reports and statistics on allocated cases.

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.
