Work-Force
Step into a Legal Secretary role in Kroonstad and make your mark across Free State. The team is hiring now and wants to hear from sharp, committed candidates.
Overview
The organisation is investing in its Kroonstad operation, and this Legal Secretary position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the legal and security jobs function and contribute to the wider Free State business.
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 Kroonstad team.
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 Kroonstad teams, and the new Legal Secretary will feel that from the first week.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the legal and security jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Kroonstad much easier.
Diversity and Inclusion
Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Free State, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.
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 Kroonstad.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Free State.

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the legal and security jobs side of the business inside out. The Kroonstad group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The legal and security jobs space in Kroonstad offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Free State.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Kroonstad team member.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Your Workplace
Beyond that, 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.
Practically speaking, 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.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Kroonstad site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Free State. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
