The Department of Employment and Labour is recruiting Client Service Officers across twelve Labour Centres in Gauteng. These are permanent government positions at salary level 05, paying R237 453 per annum. The minimum requirement is a Matric certificate, making this one of the more accessible permanent government opportunities currently open in the province.
If you live near any of the listed centres — from Soweto and Randburg to Kempton Park and Bronkhorstspruit — and you are serious about starting a stable career in public service, this is the type of opportunity that does not come around often at entry level.

- Registering work and learning opportunities on ESSA
- Referring work seekers for employment counselling services
- Supporting the placement of work seekers in jobs and learning opportunities

What You Need to Apply

- Grade 12 or National Senior Certificate (minimum requirement)
- A diploma or degree is advantageous but not required
- Computer literacy
- Good communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to listen, problem solve and handle queries professionally
