Hire Me is recruiting persons with disabilities for six Business Administration Learnership positions within an insurance company. The 2026 intake includes claims, policy administration and quality assurance placements at National Qualifications Framework Level 4. Applicants need Matric, strong English communication skills and a medical certificate confirming their disability during the screening process.
This opportunity could help participants gain practical experience in the insurance sector while completing a recognised qualification. Candidates will be considered for one of three operational areas based on their qualifications and suitability.
Which learnership placements are available?
A total of six learnership positions are available across claims, policy administration and quality assurance.
The positions are divided as follows:
- Claims: Two positions
- Policy administration: Three positions

Each area provides a different form of insurance workplace exposure. Claims learners may work with technical information, while policy administration learners could support customer and policy processes. Quality assurance focuses on checking whether work meets the required standards.

Who can qualify for the Hire Me learnership?
Applicants must have completed Matric and be able to communicate confidently in English.
The main requirements include:
- A completed Matric certificate.
- A documented disability.
- A medical certificate submitted with the curriculum vitae.
- A good command of the English language.
- Confidence communicating with customers over the telephone.
- Availability to participate in a full-time learnership.
- An interest in business administration or insurance.
Preference will be given to candidates who have not previously completed a learnership. Applicants with previous learnership experience are not automatically described as ineligible, but candidates without such experience are preferred.
What additional qualification is required for claims?
Candidates interested in one of the two claims placements must have a technical background.
Acceptable qualifications include:
- National Technical Certificate Level 2.
- National Technical Certificate Level 3.
- Another relevant technical qualification.
- A relevant qualification from a Technical and Vocational Education and Training institution.
Claims candidates should also be technically inclined and comfortable working with technical information.
Applicants without a technical qualification may still be considered for policy administration or quality assurance, provided they meet the general requirements.
Why are communication skills important?
The learnership may involve communicating with insurance customers over the telephone. Candidates must therefore be able to listen carefully, explain information clearly and remain professional during conversations.
Good communication includes:
- Speaking clearly and confidently.
- Understanding customer questions.
- Recording information accurately.
- Remaining calm during difficult conversations.
- Protecting confidential customer information.
- Using professional language.
Applicants can use their curriculum vitae to highlight school, volunteer or community responsibilities that required regular communication with other people.
Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Do not submit the medical certificate as a separate afterthought. Include it with your curriculum vitae and check that it is clear and readable. Claims candidates should also place their National Technical Certificate or relevant technical qualification near the top of the education section.
What documents should applicants prepare?
Candidates should prepare all required documents before beginning the online application.
The application should include:
- An updated curriculum vitae.
- A copy of the Matric certificate.
- A medical certificate.
- A copy of the applicant’s identity document, if requested.
- Copies of relevant technical qualifications for claims applicants.
- Copies of other supporting certificates, where applicable.
The medical certificate should be attached to the curriculum vitae as requested. Applicants should ensure that personal information is submitted only through the designated application process.
How can candidates submit an application?
Applications must be completed online. Candidates should indicate which placement best matches their qualifications, particularly if they want to be considered for claims.
Applications must be submitted through the official online application portal.
No closing date has been specified. Eligible candidates should submit their documents promptly while the opportunity remains available.
