Only online applications will be considered. Complete the online application form and attach your certified qualification(s), ID and CV. Use Google Chrome when applying.

Applicants must be youth from Johannesburg communities who have not taken part in an internship programme before. The Administration Officer circular makes an exception where the earlier internship was not relevant to your course of study.

If you hear nothing within six weeks of the closing date, your application was unsuccessful. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted, and shortlisted candidates will undergo credit, CV, employment, criminal and identity checks. The City reserves the right not to make an appointment. Appointments follow the City’s Employment Equity policy, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Applications for the Administration Officer internship close on 4 November 2026, so apply early.
