The organisation is recruiting a Learning and Development Officer for its Polokwane operation. The role forms part of a wider hr jobs portfolio across Limpopo.
About This Position
This Learning and Development Officer role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Polokwane. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the hr jobs pipeline across Limpopo.

Crucially, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Polokwane also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
