Work-Force
An opportunity has arisen for a Litigation Secretary in Cape Town. Suitably qualified candidates from across Western Cape are invited to apply.
What This Role Involves
This Litigation Secretary role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Cape Town. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the legal and security jobs pipeline across Western Cape.
Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Cape Town also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Cape Town teams, and the new Litigation Secretary will feel that from the first week.
Your Workplace
Crucially, the environment is process-driven and regulation-aware. Whether you are at a desk or on site, attention to detail, calm conduct and accurate reporting are non-negotiable.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Cape Town site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Western Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
Equally, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.
Your Team
Notably, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Cape Town office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Western Cape operations get busy.
Equally, the team mix in Cape Town reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Working in Cape Town
On top of that, the role is based in Cape Town, on the N2 corridor toward the Cape Winelands. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Cape Town and the broader Western Cape region.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Cape Town.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Cape Town, Western Cape.
Many candidates already living within reach of Cape Town cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Western Cape economy.
Our Commitment to Transformation
Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Western Cape, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western Cape.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Cape Town.
What We Offer
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Cape Town colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the legal and security jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Cape Town teams.
Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Western Cape.
Crucially, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Cape Town keep progressing.
