Job Description

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at a litigation law firm in Midrand. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The site is in Midrand; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

The work, day to day

  • Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.
  • Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
  • Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.
  • Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
  • Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.

Must-haves

  • Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma
  • Discreet with board, salary and legal information
  • Calm when plans change at the last minute
  • Available for the odd early start or late finish

What you get

  • Parking in a secure basement
  • Medical aid and provident fund
  • Hybrid days once settled in

How to apply

  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 a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.
