SMS posts will be subjected to a technical exercise that intends to assess
relevant functional elements of the job and an interview. Following the technical
exercise and interview, a maximum of three (3) SMS candidates will undergo
psychometric assessments to assess cognitive capabilities, behavioural
preferences, emotional intelligence, and integrity. The successful candidate will

post. The purpose of the Senior Management Pre-Entry Programme, which is
a public service specific training programme applicable to all applicants who
aspire to join the SMS, is to ensure that potential SMS members have a
background in processes and procedures linked to the SMS. The duration of
the online Pre-Entry Programme is 120 notional hours (15 days). Full details
may be sourced by the following link: https://www.thensg.gov.za/trainingcourse/sms-preentryprogramme . The successful candidate shall be subjected
to a leadership assessment, within one (1) month of appointment, to assess
the managerial competencies required for SMS members in the Public Service
as specified under Chapter Five (5) of the SMS handbook. This assessment
shall be conducted to determine an individual’s ability to lead, manage, and
direct others and to identify developmental gaps in core generic leadership and
management competencies. The successful candidate will be required to enter
into an employment contract and a performance agreement. The successful
candidate will be subject to security vetting; and the candidate will have to
disclose her/his financial interests. Furthermore, thank you, to the huge public
