Apply to HR Administrator – Luxury Game Reserve Kalahari (JB6193)

 

Working on a luxury game reserve is unlike working in a traditional office environment. We're looking for an organised and proactive HR professional to support the full employee lifecycle while coordinating staff housing and HR administration in a unique, remote setting.

This is a varied role that combines HR operations with practical day-to-day support across the business. Success in the role requires someone who is equally comfortable managing confidential HR processes, engaging with employees at all levels, and contributing to the smooth running of the reserve's operations.

 

You'll play a key role in ensuring HR processes are efficient, compliant, and professionally managed while working closely with managers across the business. Your responsibilities will span HR administration, employee relations, training coordination, Employment Equity, Skills Development, Time & Attendance, and staff housing administration.

 

Please note: This is not a traditional office-based HR administration role. In addition to core HR responsibilities, you'll coordinate staff housing, conduct accommodation inspections, manage Time & Attendance administration, and provide operational support where needed. If you enjoy variety, take initiative, and thrive in a hands-on environment, this could be the opportunity for you.
