Job Description

Directors at this mining head office in Polokwane count on one person to keep their week on track. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll report in Polokwane. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

Legal secretary experience with court processes
A driver's licence for errands
Afrikaans or another second language for client work

What you get

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

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
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 recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Polokwane; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.
