About the company and the work

Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy appears in the DPSA Circular 39 of 2026, in the Employment and Labour section. Apply on the new Z83 form, completed in full, with an updated comprehensive CV attached, and send it to [email protected], quoting reference number HR5/1/2/3/42. Use the Apply button on this page, which points to the original DPSA source document, and follow the application instructions there. Never pay anyone who offers to secure a government post for you.
Practical tips
Complete the Z83 form in full, initial and sign it, and attach only an updated comprehensive CV at application stage, as the section instructions require. Make sure your NQF 6 qualification and your year of office administration or secretarial work are clearly visible, and highlight diary management, secretarial work and budget or supply chain support if you have done them.

How the process works
Correspondence will be limited to shortlisted candidates only. If you have not been contacted within eight weeks of the closing date, the application should be regarded as unsuccessful. Only shortlisted candidates submit certified copies of qualifications and other documents on or before the day of the interview. All shortlisted candidates, including senior management service level candidates, will undertake two pre-entry assessments: a practical exercise based on the technical and generic requirements of the post, and an integrity (ethical conduct) assessment, with selection panels scoring both technical exercises as an additional criterion. Successful candidates must enter into an employment contract and a performance agreement. The department reserves the right not to make any appointment.
