Job Description

You'll be the first voice and face of an engineering consultancy in Alberton. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Alberton-based, with most of your time spent at an engineering consultancy. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Scan, file and archive documents in the correct client folders.
  • Sort incoming post and book couriers for outgoing documents.
  • Check patients in, verify medical aid details and collect co-payments.
  • Keep visitor and client details private under POPIA.
  • Sign visitors in, issue access cards and notify the right person.
  • Order stationery and cleaning supplies and check deliveries.

You'll need

  • Discreet with confidential information
  • At least 1 year on reception or a front desk
  • Well presented, punctual and organised
  • You can juggle a ringing phone and a waiting visitor at once

Helpful, not essential

  • A secretarial or office administration certificate
  • Typing speed above 40 wpm

What's in it for you

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

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): a neat CV with two references plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  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 Alberton.

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

  • List the phone systems and booking software you have used; practices look for people who need little training.
  • Answer the recruiter's call the way you would answer at work: greeting, your name and a smile in your voice.
