1. Overview of the Six Vacancies
The Gauteng Department responsible for sport, arts, culture and recreation is recruiting Auxiliary Support Workers for corridor-based programmes. The advertisement lists three Creative Arts posts and three Sport and Recreation posts.
| Position | Posts | Reference number |
| Auxiliary Support Worker (Arts) | 2 | REFS/056600 |
| Auxiliary Support Worker (Arts) | 1 | REFS/056607 |
| Auxiliary Support Worker (Sport) | 1 | REFS/056621 |

2. Auxiliary Support Worker (Arts) Posts
The Creative Arts vacancies are suitable for people who are interested in arts and culture programmes and are comfortable combining administrative work with practical programme support.
The two West Corridor positions use reference number REFS/056600, while the single East Corridor position uses REFS/056607.
Key duties will include:
- Preparing monthly work plans and reporting on completed tasks.
- Compiling monthly, quarterly and progress reports.
- Helping to coordinate and implement arts and culture programmes.
- Supporting an environment in which participants can receive training and develop their creative skills.
- Managing the storage and transport of programme equipment.
- Receiving training related to obtaining and monitoring service providers for integrated arts and culture projects.
The role requires reliable organisation because programmes may involve several participants, venues, service providers and pieces of equipment. Clear records and timely reports will help the department monitor whether activities are being delivered as planned.
3. Auxiliary Support Worker (Sport) Posts
The Sport and Recreation Directorate has one listed vacancy in each of the West, North and East corridors. Applicants should use the reference number that matches their preferred corridor.
The work combines administration, programme coordination, public communication and equipment control. Typical responsibilities include:
- Performing general administrative duties for the relevant hub or unit.
- Coordinating records for sports and gaming activities.
- Developing and updating databases, including community audits.
- Filing documents according to approved standards.
- Responding to queries related to the portfolio.
- Maintaining accurate project and activity records.
- Helping to identify suitable coaches and assistants.
- Assisting with workshops, sporting activities and gaming programmes.
- Collecting information and statistics for reports.
- Categorising, storing and transporting sporting and gaming equipment.
- Checking that indoor and outdoor activity areas are maintained and ready for use.
- Ordering supplies and keeping an up-to-date inventory.
- Supporting the logistics and operation of programmes and events.
- Communicating with members of the public during activities.
- Reporting damaged or faulty equipment and helping to arrange repairs or restoration.
- Preparing monthly reports on the condition and availability of equipment.
Candidates who are methodical and comfortable working with both people and equipment may be well suited to this position. Careful inventory management is particularly important because missing or poorly maintained equipment can interrupt community programmes.
4. Minimum Requirements and Useful Skills
Applicants must have a Grade 12 certificate. The advertisement states that no previous work experience is required, making these Auxiliary Support Worker vacancies accessible to school leavers and other entry-level job seekers.
A driver’s licence is not compulsory, but it will be an advantage. This may be useful when programmes, equipment or activities are spread across different locations.
Candidates should be able to demonstrate:
- Basic computer literacy for reports, databases and routine administration.
- Analytical thinking and the ability to assess information carefully.
- Problem-solving when programme or equipment issues arise.
- Conflict-resolution skills for working with participants, colleagues and the public.
- Good organisation and time management.
- Basic project-management ability.
- The confidence to help maintain discipline during programmes.
- Relevant knowledge of arts and culture or sport and recreation, depending on the selected post.
Applicants can strengthen their CVs by mentioning relevant school activities, volunteering, community projects, sports clubs, arts groups or event support. These examples do not replace the formal requirements, but they may demonstrate useful transferable skills.
5. Salary and Employment Benefits
Each post offers a salary of R201,093 per annum at salary level 4, plus applicable benefits. This is the advertised annual amount before statutory and other authorised deductions.
Public-service benefits depend on the appointment conditions and applicable rules. Candidates should wait for the employing department to confirm the complete package rather than assuming that every possible benefit automatically applies.

Important Z83 Instructions
A separate application must be submitted for each advertised post. Candidates applying for more than one vacancy must therefore complete a separate Z83 form for every position and quote the correct reference number on each application.
Sections A, B, C and D of the Z83 must be completed in full. Because Sections E, F and G have limited space, applicants may write “refer to CV” or “see attached” where appropriate.
However, the question in Part F regarding conditions that may prevent reappointment must be answered, and the declaration must be signed. Failure to complete, initial or sign the Z83 correctly may result in disqualification.
Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.

7. Documents and Screening Requirements
Applications must include a recently updated CV. The CV should clearly show the dates of any experience in MM/YY format and include three referees.
For each referee, provide:
- Full name.
- Contact number.
- Email address.
- The capacity in which the person knows you.
Only shortlisted candidates will be asked to submit certified documents, normally on or before the interview date after receiving instructions from Human Resources. Applicants should not misrepresent their qualifications or experience.
Shortlisted candidates may undergo suitability checks, including:
- Criminal-record checks.
- Citizenship verification.
- Credit-record checks.
- Qualification verification.
- Employment-history verification.
- Security-clearance procedures.
Applicants with foreign qualifications are responsible for having them evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority.
The general vacancy notice discusses the Senior Management Service pre-entry certificate and SMS competency assessments. However, these Auxiliary Support Worker vacancies are salary level 4 posts and are not SMS appointments.
Applicants should still follow any assessment instructions communicated by the department. Practical exercises or integrity assessments may be used to determine whether shortlisted candidates are suitable for appointment.
8. Practical Application Tips
Use the correct reference number wherever it is requested. The position title alone may not be enough because several corridors are recruiting candidates for similar work.
Tailor your CV to the stream for which you are applying. An Arts applicant could mention participation in cultural events, school productions or community arts projects. A Sport applicant could highlight team administration, coaching support, equipment control, tournaments or recreation programmes.
Keep your CV factual and easy to read. Include Grade 12 clearly, list your computer skills honestly and make sure the contact details for all three referees are current.
Apply early enough to deal with a slow internet connection, forgotten password or document-upload problem before the portal closes.
