IT Internship Job Opportunity at Western Cape Blood Service

Okay, so I need to rewrite this job post for the WCBS IT Intern position. Let me start by reading through the original to understand all the key points.

First, the reference number is at the top. I’ll keep that, but maybe make it less prominent. The mission statement is important, so I’ll make sure that’s clear. The job title is “IT Intern,” fixed-term contract, and it’s in Pinelands.

The purpose of the job is to handle info security risks, support end-user computing, and implement third-party apps. Key responsibilities include resolving IT calls, maintaining infrastructure, investigating security incidents, and access management.

Requirements are a recent IT degree or diploma, a Code B driver’s license, optional certs like Microsoft or A+ are a plus, experience with Windows and Office, hardware knowledge, and basic security principles. They also want good communication skills and teamwork.

There’s a note about psychometric assessments and equal opportunity employer info. Closing date is May 26, 2025.

Now, to make it more professional and natural. I should structure it cleanly, maybe with headings for each section. Start with the job title and location, then the organization’s mission.

The “Purpose of the Job” could be broken down into a brief intro followed by bullet points for clarity. Same with responsibilities and requirements.

I should simplify the language but keep it professional. Avoid jargon. Use active voice where possible.

Make sure to include all the important details from the original, like the fixed-term contract, driver’s license requirement, and application instructions.

I’ll avoid any unnecessary tags, as requested. Just plain text with basic HTML formatting for structure.

Let me draft it section by section, ensuring it’s easy to read and flows naturally. Double-check all the key points are included and formatted neatly.
