Job Description

Directors at this mining head office in Alberton count on one person to keep their week on track. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Alberton-based, with most of your time spent at a mining head office.

What you'll actually do

Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.
Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.

You'll need

Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook
Available for the odd early start or late finish
Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma
At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director

Helpful, not essential

Afrikaans or another second language for client work
Minute-taking or company secretarial training
A driver's licence for errands

What you get

Hybrid days once settled in
Medical aid and provident fund
Parking in a secure basement

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Alberton really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months), your PA or secretarial qualification plus two references from executives you worked for.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Alberton; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

State whom you supported (for example "PA to the MD of a 300-person firm") in each job heading.
Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
