About the Opportunity
This Administrative Officer role sits within the administration jobs function in Oudtshoorn. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Western Cape.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Oudtshoorn team.
The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Oudtshoorn also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

What Your Day Looks Like
Your day starts at the front of the business, ready to greet visitors, answer the switchboard and make sure the leadership diaries are in order. Through the morning you balance calls, couriers, capturing data and supporting projects with neat, accurate work. After lunch, you might be preparing minutes from a board pack, helping HR onboard a new starter, or chasing a courier across town. By close of day, every desk you support knows you have it covered, and the office is set up for a calm, productive tomorrow.
Equally, the Oudtshoorn office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Oudtshoorn.
