These are among the most accessible Department of Labour vacancies advertised this month. Five posts in Limpopo need only a Grade 12 or Senior Certificate, and one group of them asks for as little as zero to six months’ experience — which makes them realistic for school leavers and first-time job seekers.
All five pay R280 278 per annum and appear in DPSA Public Service Vacancy Circular 33 of 2026, published on 11 September 2026. Applications close on 28 September 2026 at 16:00 for walk-in delivery, or 23:59 for online submissions.

How to Apply for These Department of Labour Vacancies
The Department is strict about application requirements, and it states plainly that applicants who do not comply with the instructions will not be considered.

What Happens If You Are Shortlisted
Only shortlisted candidates are asked to submit certified copies of qualifications and other documents, on or before the day of the interview, following communication from Human Resources. Non-South African citizens and permanent resident permit holders with foreign qualifications must supply a SAQA evaluation report, also only when shortlisted.
All shortlisted candidates undertake two pre-entry assessments: a practical exercise testing the post’s technical and generic requirements, and an integrity or ethical conduct assessment. Failure to submit all requested documents results in the application not being considered.
Employment Equity
The Department states its intention to promote equity in race, gender and disability through the filling of these posts, in line with the numeric targets in its Employment Equity plan. For all five Limpopo posts the stated EE target gives priority to Coloured males, Coloured females, Indian females, White males and White females.
Before You Apply
Department of Labour vacancies are advertised free of charge. The Department will never ask you to pay to apply, to attend an interview or to be placed, and will never ask for banking details before you have an employment contract.
