Training Coordinator

A vacancy has been confirmed for a Training Coordinator based in Douglas, Northern Cape. The successful candidate will join an established team within the hr jobs function.

What This Role Involves

The Training Coordinator vacancy forms part of how the Douglas branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the hr jobs side of the business moving forward.

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 Douglas teams, and the new Training Coordinator will feel that from the first week.
