Role: In-Service Trainee IT. Location: Port Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.
The Role
The In-Service Trainee IT position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across KwaZulu-Natal. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Port Shepstone and across the in-service training space.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the in-service training team in KwaZulu-Natal make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the in-service training team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Port Shepstone much easier.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the In-Service Trainee IT to step into the in-service training workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
