Review

It is a great opportunity for me to work for Sassa I was exposed to a lot of things especially with poor people although my task was to deal with internal customers. To work with beneficiaries was a pleasure for me as I was able to assist with their queries although it was not part of my job. There were days it is so hectic especially month ends and beginning of the month when you have to prepare all documents and equipment for the new user. It is also important to know about your organisation even if you don't provide support for grants. I was able to assist with their queries when I hear them on radio. We created also network if someone is got a problem with other have government department you will have your point of contact for a certain query. I have learnt that it is very important to be humble and be yourself. My relationship with my co _ workers and customers was good. Most challenging aspects was the processes that users didn't want to follow.

Pros: great opportunity for me was when students were coming to us to get information about their parents grants.I was able to explain to them about grant process especially access to information. I was also
Cons: yes

My current work status

I currently work in a client service environment in SASSA Mamelodi branch. I have been employed here since 01/08/2004. I started as a clerk and promoted to a Supervisor in March 2008. I have dealt with my customers professionally (internal and external customers). I have served my current employer diligently with respect. Proof to this is the fact that there is no disciplinary issue next to my name or my work profile all these years. Presently I work as a grant administration supervisor where I deal with issues of staff performance management, stakeholder relations, project management. I also recently passed a Post Graduate Diploma in Labour Law at the University of Johannesburg. I hope this information and my attached CV shows that I am a dedicated worker who could add value to your organization.

Pros: Opportunity for promotion
Cons: Political enviroment in the agency

My 10 Years working experience at SASSA as HR Personnel

Good Morning, My day to day work more of a challenge doing the first day of working for SASSA. I was responsible for Service Benefits and Conditions including end to end recruitment process. In the process reporting to the HR Manager will leave me to run this function on my own and make mistakes and resolve them all by myself. The helped me in becoming more independent and gaining strong leadership skills to my subordinates. The most challenging part of my job is to run with recruitment process that have Senior Management's interest and they are all over you in terms of running the show.

Pros: none
Cons: received paid overtime
