The Department of Home Affairs is going online – and they want unemployed youths to help them do it. Job listings have already gone live, with around 10,000 positions up for grabs. The listings are looking for anyone between the age of 18 and 35, and people with disabilities (and unemployed).
The jobs entail the digitisation of over 350 million records of birth, death and marriage certificates throughout most of Gauteng, North West and the Western Cape.
Salaries will pay between R5,000 and R14,250 per month, depending on the position you’re after. Entry-level positions will net you R5,000 – R9,500 for technical-level support and R14,250 for managerial roles.
Round 1 – Fight!
There will be three rounds of recruitment – the first being led by Aaron Motsoaledi’s department, partnered with the Department of Employment and Labour. The first round is looking for 2,000 people to fill eleven different roles. Available contracts are fixed-term, meaning they’ll only last a certain amount of time. In the case of this first round of hiring, jobs will last three years.
“The project will run over a three-year period, effective from November 2022 until October 2025,” Motsoaledi said.
“During the tenure of the contract, the youth with receive continuous learning and development interventions to improve their skills for optimal performance and to equip them for future employment and /or entrepreneurial opportunities,” according to the advert.
Home Affairs wants 8,000 more
Rounds two and three will bring in a further 4,000 workers each. Round two will begin advertising jobs sometime in October, with work starting in January. Round three will start advertising in December or January, starting work in April of 2023.
If you’d like to apply for the first round, you can do so here. If you’d rather wait for a future round, keep your eyes and ears open, applying in the same place. The site is a little slow, but it does work – we promise. Just leave it open for a little while, and it should eventually load.

Throughout the hiring process, the Department will favour female workers over male workers.
“In this month of women, and to honour the heroines of the 1956 march to the Union Buildings, we wish to announce that 60% of the intake will be of young women and only 40% will be young men,” Motsoaledi said.
