Job Description
Here’s what you need to know if you’re eyeing the Administrative Assistant role at the Department of Public Service and Administration—starting salary is R 163 563 a year (that’s level 5), but don’t get too comfortable with that number. Hit your targets, and you could see it climb to R 192 666 annually. Not bad for keeping the wheels turning in Pretoria’s bureaucratic machine.Now, the fine print: you’ll need a senior certificate (or its NQFL 4 equivalent) just to get your foot in the door. But let’s be real—paper qualifications only get you so far. The department wants hands-on experience in human resource management and office administration. If you’ve spent years herding spreadsheets, calming irate colleagues, or untangling red tape, you’re probably in the right ballpark. For those interested in other operational roles like camp maintenance supervisor positions, similar experience in facility management or logistics can also be highly relevant.So, what’s the day-to-day going to look like? Well, the department’s hunting for someone who checks these boxes:But Job Duties
