Jobs in South Africa
South Africa has really opened its doors to tourism in recent years and it’s beginning to open its doors to foreign workers.
There are a lot of opportunities in South Africa, especially in working in the winelands.
If you’re aged 18-30 and from Australia, Canada or the UK then you can apply for a working holiday visa (WHV), which allows you to live and work in South Africa for up to a year (up to two years if you’re from the UK). Your WHV allows you to work in any job, from working in a bar in Cape Town to teaching rugby in Durban. You’re only limited by your ambition and imagination.
We'll send you to places you've never been to before, to try new things and to meet new people.
Working in South Africa will look amazing on your CV and make you much more employable for the future. All you need to do is apply for your WHV and get yourself out there.
Working abroad really gives you the opportunity to get to know a country, to become a part of a community and to learn valuable skills for life. Not only that, but it can further fund your gap year and travels. You’ll gain a lot more through working in a country than just passing through it... working in South Africa will change your life.
