Job Description

This medical specialist rooms in Newcastle needs an assistant who thinks two steps ahead. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll report in Newcastle. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
  • Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
  • Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.
  • Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
  • Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.

Must-haves

  • Excellent written English and polished emails
  • Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook
  • Calm when plans change at the last minute
  • Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma

Helpful, not essential

  • Afrikaans or another second language for client work
  • Minute-taking or company secretarial training

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your PA or secretarial qualification plus two references from executives you worked for.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

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.
