• Culture Evolution: Lead change management initiatives to transition the business to a professional, structured corporate environment.
• Industrial Relations: Oversee dispute resolutions, grievances, localized hearings, and sound workplace practices.
• Statutory Compliance: Maintain rigid alignment with South African labour legislation (BCEA, LRA, EE) across multiple medical facilities.
What We Are Looking For:
• Tertiary qualification in Human Resources Management, Industrial Psychology, or equivalent.
• 7–10 years of generalist HR experience, with at least 3 years managing distributed, national, or multi-site teams.
• Strong foundational knowledge of South African labour laws and localized industrial relations practices.
• Equal comfort designing broad long-term frameworks and rolling up your sleeves for day-to-day operations.
