Gauteng Provincial Government vacancies are listed on the GPG Professional Job Centre. Check the individual advert before applying: it gives the reference number, department, location, requirements, application instructions and closing date.
A genuine public-sector recruitment application is free. Never pay anyone to apply for a government job.
Start with the GPG Professional Job Centre vacancy list. It has an All Jobs list and an All Jobs by Departments option. The live listing identifies the employing department and work location, so use it to find posts that fit your area and qualifications.
Teaching vacancies have a separate official route: the Gauteng Department of Education's Unemployed Educators vacancies page. Its listings show the school, district, learning area and closing date. Use the application process shown on that site for educator posts.
| What to check in every advert | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Post title and reference number | Enter these exactly on your application. |
| Department and location | They identify the employer and duty station. |
| Requirements and duties | Apply only if you meet the stated requirements. |
| Notes and application channel | The department may require online application or give other advert-specific instructions. |
| Closing date | Your application must be submitted by the deadline in that advert. |
The Job Centre was live-checked on 15 November 2026. Its current list includes posts closing on 16, 17, 19, 20 and later in November 2026. These are current-cycle dates, not a standing timetable. New adverts and deadlines can change, so open the advert and rely on its displayed closing date.
Use the current Z83 Application for Employment form, effective 1 January 2021. It is for people applying for advertised government-department positions.
Complete every section accurately and legibly. The form asks for the advertised post, department and reference number, personal and contact information, qualifications, work experience and references. Your personal details must correspond with your ID or passport.
Initial and sign the form. The official form says that failure to sign may lead to disqualification. Attach a detailed CV where the advert requires one.
| Before you submit | Action |
|---|---|
| Advertised post details | Copy the post title, department and reference number from that specific vacancy. |
| Z83 | Use the version effective 1 January 2021. Complete it, initial it and sign it. |
| CV | Prepare a detailed CV and attach it if the advert says to do so. |
| Supporting documents | Follow the advert. A current GPG advert states that shortlisted candidates, rather than all applicants, will be asked for certified qualifications, ID and a valid driver's licence where driving or travelling is inherent to the job. |
| Foreign qualifications | A current GPG advert says it is the applicant's responsibility to have foreign qualifications evaluated by SAQA. |
Do not assume that one advert's document rules apply to every post. For example, the Gfleet Driver/Messenger advert required an online application, the most recent completed, initialled and signed Z83, and a comprehensive CV. Follow the notes on the vacancy you are applying for.
The official Job Centre's current advert example says only online applications will be considered for that vacancy. That is not proof that every department uses the same method. Always follow the instructions in the individual notice.
Do not wait for a general weekly deadline. The portal shows different closing dates for different posts. As of 15 November 2026, some listed vacancies close as soon as 16 November 2026. For school posts, check the date on the Education vacancy listing separately.
Search the official GPG Professional Job Centre All Jobs list and use its department filter. For Gauteng public-school educator vacancies, also check the Department of Education Unemployed Educators vacancies page.
Use the official Z83 form effective 1 January 2021. Complete it fully, accurately and legibly, then initial and sign it.
Read the specific advert. The current Gfleet example says shortlisted candidates will be asked for certified qualifications, ID and a valid driver's licence where it is an inherent job requirement. Another advert may state different instructions.
Use the closing date shown on that individual official vacancy listing. Dates differ by post. Do not treat an old advert or another vacancy's deadline as your deadline.
No. Genuine public recruitment is free. Do not pay a person or service to submit an application or promise you a job.
