Frequently Asked Questions

Candidates are typically assessed on their ability to organize data, their proficiency with office equipment, and their understanding of the Z83/public service administrative framework.
Yes. While it is an entry-level clerk role, you will be expected to support Supply Chain (obtaining quotes) and Personnel Admin (payroll/travel), so basic numeracy and an understanding of confidentiality are critical.
Candidates must demonstrate at least three years of experience specifically at a supervisory level within Human Resource Management. This means you should have experience leading a team, signing off on work, or managing a sub-directorate's functions.
It involves both. While there are administrative components (PERSAL updates), you are also responsible for the 'facilitation of development and implementation' of the HR and Employment Equity Plans, which are key strategic documents for departmental compliance.
While this post notes physical submission logic via the DPSA portal, if emailing, you must merge the New Z83 (2021) and your updated CV into a single PDF. Do not include certificates at this stage as it may lead to disqualification.
Yes. The requirements explicitly state that a PERSAL Certificate or Results must be provided. This is a critical technical requirement as you will be responsible for monitoring the Staff Establishment and organizational structure on the system.
