Job Description

You'll be the first voice and face of an accounting practice in Umlazi. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The work is in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

The work, day to day

  • Sort incoming post and book couriers for outgoing documents.
  • Answer and transfer calls on a multi-line switchboard within three rings.
  • Book appointments, meeting rooms and boardroom catering.
  • Keep the reception area neat and the coffee station stocked.
  • Order stationery and cleaning supplies and check deliveries.
  • Sign visitors in, issue access cards and notify the right person.

Must-haves

  • Microsoft Word, Outlook and basic Excel
  • A warm, clear phone manner in English
  • You can juggle a ringing phone and a waiting visitor at once
  • At least 1 year on reception or a front desk

Helpful, not essential

  • A second language common in your area
  • Medical billing or practice software experience

On offer

  • Normal office hours, Monday to Friday
  • Annual bonus (13th cheque) at many practices
  • Paid study leave for office admin courses
  • Safe, secure parking
