Job Description

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at a litigation law firm in Hammarsdale. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Hammarsdale; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

Draft letters, reports and presentations in the house style.
Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.

Discreet with board, salary and legal information
Excellent written English and polished emails
Available for the odd early start or late finish
Calm when plans change at the last minute
At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

Medical aid and provident fund
13th cheque and performance bonus

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

Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
