The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the company’s overall HR function, with a strong focus on industrial relations, labour law compliance, employee relations, training, audits, reporting and operational HR support.

This is a specialist HR management opportunity within the security industry. Previous HR experience in the security industry is essential.

Applicants who do not have security industry HR experience are specifically advised not to apply.

Important Requirement: Security Industry Experience

Security industry experience is an essential requirement for this position.

The successful candidate must have proven experience managing HR functions within the security sector and should understand the operational and regulatory environment associated with private security services.

This includes knowledge of:

• Industrial relations.
• Labour legislation.
• Security industry requirements.
• Sectoral determinations.
• COIDA processes.
• Training and development requirements.
• Workplace Skills Plans.
• Annual Training Reports.
• Employment Equity.
• Audits and inspections.

Applicants who do not meet this requirement may not be considered.

Key Responsibilities

The Human Resources Manager will oversee a wide range of HR and employee-relations functions.

Industrial Relations

A major part of the role will involve managing Industrial Relations (IR) matters.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing disciplinary hearings.
• Handling employee grievances.
• Managing CCMA-related matters.
• Assisting with consultations.
• Providing guidance to management on employee relations.
• Ensuring disciplinary processes are handled fairly and according to applicable legislation.
• Maintaining appropriate IR records.
• Supporting operational management with employee-related matters.

The successful candidate should therefore have strong practical knowledge of workplace dispute resolution and South African labour relations processes.

The HR Manager will be responsible for ensuring that HR practices comply with applicable legislation and industry requirements.

This includes:

• Monitoring labour law compliance.
• Ensuring HR policies remain compliant.
• Understanding sectoral determinations.
• Monitoring relevant security industry requirements.
• Advising management on HR compliance.

A strong compliance-focused approach is essential for this role.

Responsibilities include:

• Administering COIDA claims.
• Maintaining relevant documentation.
• Following up on claims.
• Ensuring required reports are completed.
• Supporting compliance with applicable occupational injury reporting requirements.

The HR Manager will assist with B-BBEE audit preparation.

This may include:

• Preparing supporting documentation.
• Maintaining relevant HR records.
• Assisting with information required for audits.
• Ensuring HR-related compliance information is accurate.
• Working with management and relevant stakeholders during the audit process.

Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report

The successful candidate will be responsible for compiling and managing the Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) and Annual Training Report (ATR).

This includes:

• Coordinating training information.
• Maintaining training records.
• Gathering employee training data.
• Preparing WSP documentation.
• Preparing ATR documentation.

Experience with WSP, ATR and SETA processes is required.

The Human Resources Manager will manage Employment Equity responsibilities.

Duties include:

• Compiling the Employment Equity report.

Responsibilities include:

• Coordinating employee training.
• Monitoring statutory training requirements.
• Ensuring industry-required training is completed.
• Maintaining training records.
• Identifying training needs.
• Supporting employee development initiatives.
• Ensuring training activities align with operational requirements.

Security industry training requirements are particularly important because employees may require specific training and competencies to perform their duties.

Inspections and Audits

The HR Manager will conduct and manage internal and external inspections.

The role also involves preparing for and coordinating audits.

Responsibilities include:

• Conducting internal inspections.
• Supporting external inspections.
• Preparing audit documentation.
• Coordinating client-related audits.
• Identifying compliance gaps.
• Implementing corrective actions.
• Preparing reports.
• Following up on audit findings.

Strong auditing and reporting experience will therefore be important.

The successful candidate will develop, review and implement HR policies and procedures.

This includes:

• Reviewing existing HR policies.
• Identifying areas requiring improvement.
• Updating policies when legislation changes.
• Implementing HR procedures.
• Ensuring management understands applicable policies.
• Maintaining HR documentation.
• Ensuring ongoing compliance.

The Human Resources Manager will provide HR support to both management and operational teams.

This may include:

• Advising managers on employee-related matters.
• Providing guidance on disciplinary processes.
• Supporting operational teams with HR issues.
• Assisting with employee relations.
• Advising management on HR compliance.
• Supporting the implementation of HR policies.
• Resolving HR-related challenges.

Because the role supports security operations, the successful candidate should be comfortable working in a fast-paced operational environment.

Working Hours

The position may occasionally require the successful candidate to work late hours due to operational requirements or disciplinary matters.

Applicants should therefore be willing and able to work outside normal office hours when the needs of the business require it.
