Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a HR Administrator in Kimberley, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.
About the Opportunity
The organisation is investing in its Kimberley operation, and this HR Administrator position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the hr jobs function and contribute to the wider Northern Cape business.
Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the hr jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Kimberley much easier.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the HR Administrator is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Northern Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.
A Typical Day
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.
In addition, the Kimberley 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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Kimberley.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Our Commitment to Transformation
Beyond that, the organisation supports a respectful workplace. Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates across Northern Cape, and recruitment is intended to be fair and transparent.
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.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Kimberley.
Notably, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for Northern Cape.
Based in Kimberley

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
