HUMAN RESOURCES PRACTITIONER – The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (Elcin) 30 views

A Bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management, Industrial Psychology, or a related field is usually preferred. Practical experience of 2-3 years in HR administration, recruitment, or employee relations is highly valued.

You would typically manage HR administration, support recruitment processes, and handle employee relations matters. This often includes maintaining HR records, assisting with payroll inputs, and ensuring compliance with labor laws.

Professionalism, respect, and a strong work ethic are highly valued in Namibian workplaces. In a church setting, an understanding of community values and a service-oriented approach are often important.

After gaining experience, an HR Practitioner can advance to roles like HR Officer, Senior HR Practitioner, or HR Manager. Specialization in areas such as talent acquisition, compensation & benefits, or organizational development is also possible.

Standard benefits packages in Namibia often include annual leave, sick leave, and potentially maternity/paternity leave in line with the Labour Act. Many employers also offer medical aid contributions and pension fund membership.

Employers seek candidates with strong communication skills, a solid understanding of Namibian labor law, and practical HR software proficiency. Applications typically require a comprehensive CV, cover letter, and copies of qualifications.
