Job Description

This mining head office in Worcester needs an assistant who thinks two steps ahead. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Worcester-based, with most of your time spent at a mining head office.

What your day looks like

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

Must-haves

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

Nice if you have

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

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a CV naming the level of executives you supported, two references from executives you worked for 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 7 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.

How to stand out

  • 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.
