Job Description

Directors at this mining head office in Worcester count on one person to keep their week on track. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

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

What your day looks like

  • Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.
  • 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.
  • Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.

You'll need

  • 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
  • Discreet with board, salary and legal information
  • At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director

Extra points for

  • Minute-taking or company secretarial training
  • Legal secretary experience with court processes
  • Afrikaans or another second language for client work

What you get

  • Hybrid days once settled in
  • 13th cheque and performance bonus
  • Medical aid and provident fund
  • 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. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your PA or secretarial qualification, two references from executives you worked for plus a CV naming the level of executives you supported.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

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

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

  • 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.
