The Role

The Learning and Development Officer position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Western Cape. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in George and across the hr jobs space.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Learning and Development Officer to step into the hr jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
