Training Coordinator

Whether you are a seasoned Training Coordinator or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Bloemfontein. The team hires on merit and across communities in Free State.

About the Opportunity

This Training Coordinator role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Bloemfontein. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the hr jobs pipeline across Free State.

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 Training Coordinator taking on this position.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Training Coordinator is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Free State is consistently high and consistently fair.

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 Bloemfontein teams, and the new Training Coordinator will feel that from the first week.

Your Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the hr jobs side of the business inside out. The Bloemfontein group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

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

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.

Our Commitment to Transformation

In addition, 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.

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.

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

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

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.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Bloemfontein.

Practically speaking, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.

Beyond that, the Bloemfontein 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.

Where You’ll Work

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

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

Crucially, 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.

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