The Road Accident Fund Invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for its Offer Management Internship Vacancies. The closing date for applications is Tuesday 19 May 2026.
Why This Internship Matters
The Road Accident Fund wants to help young people learn real‑world skills. If you have finished school and are between 18 and 25 years old, this 18‑month Offer Management Internship can give you hands‑on experience in a government setting. You’ll see how a large agency handles claims, checks paperwork, and works with different teams to solve problems.
What You’ll Do Every Day
During the internship you’ll take part in tasks such as:
- Checking that offers (payments or settlements) meet quality standards.
- Spotting mistakes, fixing them, and working with the person who created the offer.
- Sending approved offers to the right people.
- Looking at why some offers were rejected and learning from them.
- Uploading all offers into the computer system and keeping records tidy.
- Answering emails and letters from other departments or the public.
- Reporting new risks or issues that could affect the fund.
- Helping create short reports that suggest how to improve the process.
- Listening to complaints, talking to the right people, and following up until they’re resolved.
- Making sure all queries are answered within the time limits set by the fund.
Who Can Apply
To be considered you must have:
- A certified copy of your Grade 12/Matric certificate.
- A certified copy of a relevant Diploma, Advanced Diploma, or Bachelor’s degree in Law (or a related field).
- A certified copy of your South African ID.
- A certified copy of your academic transcript.
- A short CV (max 2 pages) and a motivational letter (max 1 page) that explains why you’re a good fit.
Important: You must be unemployed, have never worked in a similar role, and have not taken part in any other internship program in this field. Applicants who have already been interns elsewhere will be disqualified if they do not disclose this information.
Skills You Should Show
The fund looks for candidates who can demonstrate:
- Clear written and spoken communication.
- Good people skills – you can work well with others.
- Attention to detail – you notice even small errors.
- A strong desire to learn new things.
- Self‑motivation – you can work independently when needed.
- Basic computer abilities (typing, using spreadsheets, and navigating online systems).

Money You’ll Earn
Interns receive a monthly stipend that helps cover living expenses while you learn on the job.
