Job Description

At this mining head office in Tembisa, you'll be the person who knows where everything and everyone is. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at a mining head office in Tembisa. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
  • Draft letters, reports and presentations in the house style.
  • Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
  • Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
  • Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Legal secretary experience with court processes
  • Afrikaans or another second language for client work

On offer

  • Hybrid days once settled in
  • Parking in a secure basement
  • 13th cheque and performance bonus

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Tembisa really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a CV naming the level of executives you supported, two references from executives you worked for plus a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

  • Expect practical tests on Word formatting, Excel and minute-taking, so brush up on styles and tables first.
  • Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
