Senior HR Manager

WE'RE HIRING | SENIOR HR MANAGER | CAPE TOWN

People are at the heart of everything we do. Are you ready to lead the function that makes it happen?

ICG Medical is looking for a resilient, commercially minded and hands on Senior HR Manager to own our South African HR function, lead a small, agile team from our new Plattekloof office, and take a seat on our South Africa Leadership Team.

ICG Medical is an international healthcare staffing group operating across 13 countries. Our Cape Town team of around 150 people powers our UK, Irish, and US businesses, and it moves fast. As a strong, hands on operator, you will make a real and visible local impact: shaping how we attract, develop, and keep great people, and advising leaders across three continents.

What will you be responsible for?

• Leading and developing a small, agile South African HR team, while delivering hands on yourself.
• Partnering with international leadership teams across the UK, Ireland and USA.
• Driving employee relations, industrial relations and complex labour matters.
• Owning performance management, retention, and workforce planning, with clear and measurable outcomes.
• Checking and controlling payroll, and keeping HR operations and statutory compliance on track.
• Leading key people initiatives, including our Internship Programme.
• Bringing strategic HR thinking to the South Africa Leadership Team, while staying hands on with day to day operations.
• Supporting our smaller teams in Kenya and Dubai.

What we're looking for

• Five or more years of generalist HR experience in South Africa, including at least two years managing people.
• Experience leading an HR team in a fast moving, high volume environment such as recruitment, staffing, BPO, or shared services.
• Strong knowledge of South African labour legislation and CCMA processes.
• Hands on payroll experience: you have personally checked and reconciled a payroll before sign off.
• The presence and confidence to influence senior leaders, including your peers on the Leadership Team.
• Resilience and adaptability: you thrive on pace and change, stay calm under pressure, and enjoy rolling up your sleeves.
• Discretion, sound judgement, and a positive, grounded approach to people matters.
• A degree or diploma in Human Resources, Industrial Psychology, Labour Relations, or similar.

What's in it for you

• Discovery Health medical aid, with ICG paying the main member premium.
• 20 days of annual leave each year, plus a half day off for your birthday.
• 4 days of paid family responsibility leave each year.
• Your SABPP membership paid for by ICG.
• A confidential 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.
• A seat on the South Africa Leadership Team, working closely with leaders in the UK, Ireland, and the USA.
• Our new office at Plattekloof Office Park.
