Employee Wellness Officer

Temporary

Work-Force

Looking for your next move as a Employee Wellness Officer in Pietermaritzburg? A role has just opened that gives you real responsibility and a clear path forward in KwaZulu-Natal.

The Role

This Employee Wellness Officer role sits within the hr jobs function in Pietermaritzburg. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across KwaZulu-Natal.

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Pietermaritzburg team.

The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Pietermaritzburg also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Your Future Here

Practically speaking, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the hr jobs team in Pietermaritzburg have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Pietermaritzburg have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across KwaZulu-Natal.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

What Your Day Looks Like

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 Pietermaritzburg.

In addition, the Pietermaritzburg 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.

Your Role

  • Process monthly payroll inputs and resolve employee queries
  • Champion transformation and inclusion across all people processes
  • Compile workforce reports for EE, B-BBEE and skills development submissions
  • Advise managers on application of the LRA, BCEA and EEA
  • Roll out HR policies and procedures and train managers on application

Candidate Profile

  • Ability to handle sensitive employee information with discretion
  • 3-5 years' generalist HR experience in a structured environment
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret HR metrics
  • Hands-on experience with HRIS and payroll systems
  • Member or affiliate of SABPP or IPM is an advantage
  • Coaching mindset with the ability to support line managers
  • Experience supporting CCMA, disciplinary and grievance processes

Potential is considered alongside experience, so candidates who tick most of these boxes should still be considered.
