  • Identify HR risks and recommend practical solutions.

HR Processes and Documentation

  • Draft and update employment contracts, letters, policies, procedures, job descriptions, and HR reports.
  • Support onboarding, probation, performance management, disciplinary processes, and exit processes.
  • Assist with employee file management and HR administration where required.
  • Ensure HR processes are applied consistently and professionally across clients.

Multi-Client Support

  • Manage work across multiple clients with different priorities, deadlines, and business environments.
  • Keep accurate records of client work completed, actions required, and deadlines.
  • Follow up on outstanding items and ensure tasks are completed within agreed timelines.
  • Adapt communication and support according to each client’s needs and working environment.

Working Arrangements

This is a part-time role, with working hours to be agreed based on business and client needs. The role may include remote work, internal meetings, and occasional client site visits.

The position may become full-time at a later stage depending on business growth, client requirements, and performance in the role.



Requirements

Minimum Requirements

  • Relevant qualification in Human Resources, Industrial Psychology, Labour Relations, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 3 to 5 years’ HR generalist experience.
  • Good working knowledge of South African labour legislation and HR compliance requirements.
  • Experience working with multiple stakeholders, managers, or clients.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to draft professional HR documentation.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently and manage deadlines.
  • Comfortable working in a consulting, outsourced HR, or multi-client environment.

Advantageous Requirements

  • Experience with HR systems such as Zoho People, Zoho Recruit, Sage, or similar platforms.
