Employee Wellness Officer

This is a current vacancy. Role: Employee Wellness Officer. Location: Mmabatho, North West. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

About the Opportunity

The organisation is investing in its Mmabatho operation, and this Employee Wellness Officer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the hr jobs function and contribute to the wider North West business.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the hr jobs team in North West make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Employee Wellness 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.

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 Mmabatho teams, and the new Employee Wellness Officer will feel that from the first week.

Your Future Here

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The hr jobs space in Mmabatho offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in North West.

In addition, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Mmabatho have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across North West.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Mmabatho 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.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Notably, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across North West.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Mmabatho.

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.
