Administration Clerk (X2 Posts) | Department of Employment and Labor | Eastern Cape Provincial Office - Job Description
Introduction
The Department of Employment and Labor is offering two Administration Clerk positions at the Eastern Cape Provincial Office in East London. This is an accessible entry-level opportunity that requires only a Matric certificate, making it ideal for school leavers and young people looking to begin their government career.
About the Company
As an Administration Clerk within the Public Employment Services unit, you will play a supporting role in one of the most important functions of the Department of Employment and Labour — connecting South African job seekers with opportunities, managing cross-border labour migration processes, and helping to regulate private employment agencies operating in the province.
While this is an entry-level position, it is far from routine. You will liaise with external stakeholders to source placement opportunities for job seekers, assist with the coordination of international cross-border labour migration functions, and support the registration and certification of Private Employment Agencies. You will also help coordinate large provincial employment opportunities sourced from key stakeholders. It is a role that offers excellent exposure to the broader world of public employment services and provides a strong foundation for career growth within the department.
Responsibilities
• Liaise with stakeholder relations to acquire placement opportunities for job seekers
• Provide information and support for the coordination of International Cross-Border Labour Migration functions
• Support the coordination of registration and certification of Private Employment Agencies
• Coordinate large provincial employment opportunities from key stakeholders

4. Combine your Z83 and CV into one single PDF file. Do not zip the file or send image formats.
