Job Description

Directors at this litigation law firm in Umlazi count on one person to keep their week on track. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Umlazi; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What your day looks like

  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
  • Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.
  • Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.
  • Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
  • Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
  • Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.

Must-haves

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

What's in it for you

  • Medical aid and provident fund
  • Parking in a secure basement
  • 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 plus a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

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

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

  • Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
  • State whom you supported (for example "PA to the MD of a 300-person firm") in each job heading.
