Notes
The content of this circular must without delay be brought to the attention of all potential applicants. Applications must be forwarded to the relevant address. Applications must indicate the reference number of the post applied for and the Centre using a new Z83 form (which must be completed in a manner that allows a selection committee to assess the quality of the candidate based on the information provided in the form. It is therefore prudent that fields be completed by applicants and the form must be signed noting the importance of the declaration) which is effective from 01 January 2021 obtainable from any Public Service Department and should be accompanied by a detailed/comprehensive Curriculum Vitae. NB: Applicants are not required to submit copies of qualifications and other relevant documents on application but must submit the fully completed Z83 and a detailed curriculum Vitae. Only shortlisted candidates will be required to submit certified documents on or before the date of the interview following communication from Human Resources. The Department is an Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action employer and is committed to empowering people with disabilities. Appointment is subject to a positive outcome obtained on the following Personnel Suitability Checks (Security Clearance, Citizenship, qualification verification, criminal records, credit records and previous employment). The employment is subject to signing the employment contract, annual performance agreement and to disclose financial interests in accordance with relevant prescripts. Successful completion of the Senior Management Pre-Entry Programme (Nyukela certificate) is required before the appointment can be made. Enrolment for the course should be made on the NSG’s website at https://www.thensg.gov.za/training-course/sms-preentryprogramme. All shortlisted candidates for SMS posts will be subjected to technical exercise and interview. Following the technical exercise and interview, a maximum of three (3) candidates will undergo psychometric assessments to assess cognitive capabilities, behavioural preferences, emotional intelligence and integrity. Other shortlisted candidates, including SMS will undertake two preentry assessments. One will be a practical exercise to determine a candidate’s suitability based on the post’s technical and generic requirements and the other must be an integrity (ethical conduct) assessment and Failure to comply with any of the above instructions will result in immediate disqualification. If the applicant has not been contacted within three (3) months after the closing date must accept that his / her application was not successful. Regrettably due to excessive budget cuts the Department is not in a position to meet any travel and subsistence costs relating to the recruitment process for the shortlisted candidates. It is regretted that due to large volumes of applications anticipated to be received, it is not possible for the Department to acknowledge receipt of the same and that only those applicants that participate in the final selection processes (interviews) will be notified of the outcome.
