HR Manager

Role: HR Manager. Location: Kempton Park, Gauteng. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

What This Role Involves

This HR Manager role sits within the hr jobs function in Kempton Park. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Gauteng.

The organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the HR Manager taking on this position.

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 Kempton Park teams, and the new HR Manager will feel that from the first week.

Crucially, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Kempton Park also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Beyond that, 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 Gauteng.

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

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.

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 Kempton Park 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 Kempton Park.

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.
