Personal Assistant

Applications are warmly invited for a Personal Assistant role based in Mahikeng. We welcome candidates from every background across North West who are ready to grow with us.

Overview

This Personal Assistant role sits within the administration jobs function in Mahikeng. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across North West.

The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Mahikeng team on trust, and the Personal Assistant role will feel that from week one.

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 Mahikeng teams, and the new Personal Assistant will feel that from the first week.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the administration jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Mahikeng much easier.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the administration jobs group in Mahikeng.

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.

In addition, the Mahikeng 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.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Mahikeng.

Practically speaking, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West operations throw up the unexpected.

Equal Opportunity

Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Mahikeng.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across North West.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Mahikeng.

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.

Where You’ll Work

Notably, the environment is professional and structured. Expect a calm, well-organised office, a steady flow of support requests, and a strong culture of confidentiality.

On top of that, 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.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in North West. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Mahikeng site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Based in Mahikeng

Beyond that, the role is based in Mahikeng, in the Rustenburg platinum belt. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Mahikeng and the broader North West region.

Many candidates already living within reach of Mahikeng cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local North West economy.

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 Mahikeng.
