Job Description

You'll be the first voice and face of an accounting practice in Randburg. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Randburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Answer and transfer calls on a multi-line switchboard within three rings.
  • 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.
  • Take clear phone messages and send them by email straight away.
  • Scan, file and archive documents in the correct client folders.
  • Book appointments, meeting rooms and boardroom catering.

What you need

  • Matric
  • Well presented, punctual and organised
  • At least 1 year on reception or a front desk
  • Microsoft Word, Outlook and basic Excel
  • A warm, clear phone manner in English
  • Discreet with confidential information

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  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 matric certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Answer the recruiter's call the way you would answer at work: greeting, your name and a smile in your voice.
  • Your CV is your first test of neatness, so keep it one or two pages, one font and no spelling errors.
