Work-Force
A Workplace Learner Retail position is being filled in Virginia. Suitable candidates from across Free State are invited to submit their applications for review.
The Role
The Workplace Learner Retail vacancy forms part of how the Virginia branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the in-service training side of the business moving forward.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the in-service training team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the in-service training group in Virginia.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Virginia teams, and the new Workplace Learner Retail will feel that from the first week.
Equal Opportunity
Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Virginia.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Virginia.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Free State.
Growing With Us
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the in-service training team in Virginia have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Virginia team member.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Virginia have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Free State.
A Typical Day
Your day starts with a quick check-in with your mentor and a review of the tasks you’ll shadow or own. You spend time observing experienced colleagues, asking questions and trying small pieces of work yourself. As the day progresses, you capture notes for your logbook, attend team huddles and contribute where you can. The mix of structured learning, real workplace exposure and supportive feedback helps you turn classroom theory into skills you can actually use.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Virginia.
Importantly, the Virginia office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
Your Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the in-service training side of the business inside out. The Virginia group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
In addition, the team mix in Virginia reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
