Learning and Development Officer

This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Learning and Development Officer in Benoni, and we encourage applicants from across Gauteng to consider this opportunity.

About the Opportunity

The organisation is investing in its Benoni operation, and this Learning and Development Officer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the hr jobs function and contribute to the wider Gauteng business.

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Benoni team.

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 Benoni teams, and the new Learning and Development Officer will feel that from the first week.

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 Benoni much easier.

Your Workplace

Equally, the environment blends desk-based administrative work with frequent interactions across the business. Confidentiality, fairness and compliance underpin the work.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Benoni site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Gauteng. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Practically speaking, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

Career Growth

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The hr jobs space in Benoni 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 Gauteng.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Benoni have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

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

Meet the Team

Practically speaking, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Benoni office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Gauteng operations get busy.

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.

Crucially, the team mix in Benoni reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

About Benoni

Practically speaking, the role is based in Benoni, close to OR Tambo International Airport. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Benoni and the broader Gauteng region.

Many candidates already living within reach of Benoni cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Gauteng economy.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Benoni, Gauteng.

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 Benoni.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Gauteng, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.

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 Benoni.

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