Eligibility and required skills

A Grade 12 qualification is the minimum education requirement. Administrative exposure is an added advantage, not a compulsory period of previous employment. The department also expects computer literacy, including Microsoft Word, basic Excel and Outlook.

The competencies include knowledge of Gauteng Provincial Government and departmental policies and procedures, legislation and Public Service Regulations. Communication, analytical ability, report writing and research skills are listed. Applicants should be self-driven, adaptable and innovative, and able to work in a team.

This is a departmental administrative-clerk vacancy in the EPWP coordination structure. The advert does not present it as a learnership, an internship or a short-term participant placement, and it does not state a contract duration.

Clerical and records duties

The clerk will record, organise, capture, store and retrieve correspondence and data, maintain registers and statistics, answer routine enquiries and manage the component’s filing system. The role also covers copying documents, handling incoming and outgoing document registers, typing correspondence and distributing documents or packages.

Procurement, personnel and financial support

These duties show that the position supports several administrative functions. The advertised job is not limited to data entry or answering telephones.

• Liaise with internal and external contacts about purchasing goods and services, obtain quotations and complete procurement forms for standard office items.
• Control stationery stock and maintain the relevant asset register.
• Maintain leave, personnel and attendance records, and arrange travel and accommodation.
• Capture and update expenditure, check subsistence and travel claims before managerial approval, and handle telephone accounts and petty cash.

Salary and exact reference

The annual salary is R237,453 plus benefits. The official portal identifies one post under reference REFS/056911. The circular prints a space after the slash and the portal uses lowercase “refs”; these formatting differences refer to the same number.

A separate Monitoring and Evaluation clerk recruitment uses REFS/056912. Do not select that other reference when applying for this Provincial Coordination opportunity.

Application documents

Complete the online Z83 application information and attach a comprehensive CV. At this initial stage, the department requests the CV with the online application; other supporting documents are requested from shortlisted candidates.

Shortlisted applicants must provide certified qualifications and an identity document when requested. The notice says the certified copies must not be older than six months. A valid driver’s licence is requested where driving or travelling is an inherent requirement of the particular job; this is not an extra licence requirement for every vacancy.

Applicants with foreign qualifications are responsible for obtaining evaluation by the South African Qualifications Authority. The department applies its Employment Equity Plan, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Selection process

Shortlisted candidates should expect a practical assessment. The circular also specifies an integrity or ethical-conduct assessment as part of its selection instructions. Assessment requirements in the official recruitment process remain applicable.
