Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Office Manager in Oudtshoorn, and we encourage applicants from across Western Cape to consider this opportunity.
About the Opportunity
An experienced Office Manager is needed to support operations in Oudtshoorn. The role forms part of how the business keeps its administration jobs portfolio strong in Western Cape.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the administration jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
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.
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 Oudtshoorn.
Why This Role
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Oudtshoorn colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the administration jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Crucially, the role’s development opportunities, training and benefits, if offered, will be set out in the final vacancy details.
Career development may be available depending on the role, business needs and the hiring organisation’s policies.
Practically speaking, the package, working arrangements and any available support will be confirmed by the hiring organisation for this vacancy.
Day in the Life
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.
On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Crucially, 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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Oudtshoorn.

On top of that, the organisation supports a respectful workplace. Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates across Western Cape, and recruitment is intended to be fair and transparent.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Oudtshoorn.
Beyond that, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for 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.
The Environment
Equally, the environment is professional and structured. Expect a calm, well-organised office, a steady flow of support requests, and a strong culture of confidentiality.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Oudtshoorn site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Beyond 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.
Practically speaking, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Western Cape.
