Jobspace Uganda Vacancy Summary
JCRC is recruiting a regional HR Officer for its AFGHS activity in Kigezi. The position combines recruitment support, staff records, payroll inputs, contracts, leave, performance processes and employee welfare. Because it is regionally based, the successful applicant will need to deliver consistent HR standards while working closely with programme and operational teams in Kabale.
Why This Role Matters
The advert places strong weight on dependable HR administration rather than a single specialist area. Applicants should show that they can move an employee record accurately through recruitment, onboarding, payroll, leave, performance management and separation. Regional experience is useful because the officer must solve day-to-day staff issues without weakening documentation or organisational policy.
Who Should Consider Applying?
- HR generalists with three or more years of operational experience.
- NGO or health-programme HR staff familiar with regional teams.
- Professionals who have prepared payroll inputs and maintained audit-ready files.
- Candidates able to work in Kabale and handle confidential matters independently.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
- Support recruitment, onboarding, deployment, transfers and staff exits.
- Prepare accurate payroll inputs and follow up changes before processing cut-offs.
- Maintain contracts, leave records, timesheets, personnel files and HRIS information.
- Coordinate performance-review documentation and staff welfare matters.
- Keep records secure, complete and ready for management or audit review.
Qualifications, Skills and Experience
- Degree in Human Resources, Industrial and Organisational Psychology or a related field.
- At least three years in a busy HR generalist environment, preferably within an NGO.
- Practical HRIS experience and working knowledge of employment and labour requirements.
- Strong communication, organisation and confidential handling of employee matters.
How to Make Your Application Competitive
- Limit the submission to the requested application letter and CV in one PDF.
- Keep the combined document within six pages.
- Use the exact email subject: HR Officer-Kigezi Region.
- Show payroll, HRIS, onboarding and employee-record results using specific examples.
Questions to Prepare for Before an Interview
- How do you check payroll inputs before they are submitted?
- Describe a confidential employee issue you handled professionally.
- How would you maintain consistent HR records across a regional programme?
Application Procedure
Email only an application letter and CV combined into one PDF not exceeding six pages to jobs@jcrc.org.ug. Address the letter to The Head Human Resources, Joint Clinical Research Centre, Plot 101 Lubowa Campus off Entebbe Road, P.O. Box 10005, Kampala. Use the exact subject HR Officer-Kigezi Region.
