NOTE : The e-Recruitment System automatically generates Z83 immediately when you apply. For SMS (Senior Management Service) Posts: In terms of DPSA Directive on compulsory capacity development, mandatory training, and minimum entry requirements for members of the Senior Management Level for SMS appointments, it is a requirement for applicants to have obtained pre-entry Certificate (Nyukela) as offered by the National School of Government (NSG) for entry into the SMS posts and the full details can be sourced by following the link: https://www.thensg.gov.za/trainingcourse/sms-pre-entry-programme (the SMS pre-entry certificate is not a requirement for shortlisting; is submitted prior to appointment). NB: Z83 in the e-recruitment system is currently not signable, thus applicants who submitted applications via the e-recruitment system will not be disqualified for an unsigned Z83. Instead, they will be requested to sign on interview day. Under My Job Applications, the system Z83 does not reflect work experience and qualifications, however, every detail of your information does reflect to the Recruitment team. Shortlisted candidates will be required to submit certified copies of qualifications, and other relevant documents to HR on or before the interview date. Applicants with foreign qualifications would be required to submit an evaluation certificate from the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA) on or before the day of the interview. Failure to submit all the requested documents will disqualify the application. Correspondence will be limited to short-listed candidates only. If you have not been contacted within six (6) months after the closing date of this advertisement, please accept that your application was unsuccessful. Selected candidates will be subjected to a personnel suitability check (criminal record check, citizenship verification, financial/asset record check, qualification/study verification and previous employment verification). Successful candidates will also be subjected to security clearance processes. Where applicable, candidates will be subjected to a skills/knowledge test. The competency assessment will be testing generic managerial competencies using the mandated DPSA SMS competency 80 assessment tools. Successful candidates will be appointed on a probation period of twelve (12) months. Misrepresentation in the application documents will result in automatic disqualification and disciplinary action in the event the candidate has already been appointed. It is the department’s objective to address the Employment Equity Affirmative Action Measures in line with the Employment Equity Plan and to achieve equitable representation across race and gender. In the filling of these posts, gender equity and people living with disability will be highly considered to adhere to the EE targets of the department. The Department reserves the right to amend/ review/ withdraw advertised posts if by so doing, the best interest of the department will be well served. (Females and People with disabilities are also requested to apply and indicate such in their applications)
