Work-Force
Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Employee Wellness Officer in Bellville, and we encourage applicants from across Western Cape to consider this opportunity.
Overview
The organisation is investing in its Bellville 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 Western Cape business.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the hr jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Practically speaking, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Bellville also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Based in Bellville
Working in Bellville means a place near the Cape Town International Airport hub, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Western Cape region, and the Bellville office benefits from those long-standing connections.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Bellville.
Many candidates already living within reach of Bellville cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Western Cape economy.
What Your Day Looks Like
Your day is people-shaped from the moment you log in. You move between recruitment screens, manager calls, payroll queries and the occasional sensitive conversation that needs your full attention. Mid-morning you might be running an onboarding session for new starters, and by the afternoon you’re back at your desk preparing EE or B-BBEE reports. Through it all, you balance compliance with care, making sure that policies are followed and people are heard.
On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Notably, the Bellville 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.
Key Responsibilities
- Support managers with disciplinary, grievance and incapacity processes
- Roll out HR policies and procedures and train managers on application
- Process monthly payroll inputs and resolve employee queries
- Drive engagement, wellness and culture initiatives across sites
- Coordinate training, learnerships and bursary programmes with SETAs
- Coordinate performance management cycles and calibration sessions
Essential Criteria
- Commitment to fairness, transformation and ethical conduct
- Comfortable in a unionised environment where applicable
- Sound understanding of EE and B-BBEE compliance reporting
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
- Project management skills for HR initiatives and rollouts
- Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Human Resources or Industrial Psychology
If your CV speaks to the points above, this role is worth a closer look.
