Work-Force
The organisation is recruiting a Payroll and HR Officer for its Cape Town operation. The role forms part of a wider hr jobs portfolio across Western Cape.
What This Role Involves
On top of that, the Payroll and HR Officer vacancy forms part of how the Cape Town branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the hr jobs side of the business moving forward.
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.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the hr jobs group in Cape Town.
About Cape Town

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