Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.

Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.

Calm when plans change at the last minute
Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook
Excellent written English and polished emails
Available for the odd early start or late finish
At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
Discreet with board, salary and legal information

How to apply

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: two references from executives you worked for plus your PA or secretarial qualification.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Brakpan.

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.
