The Role

The Conveyancing Secretary vacancy forms part of how the Bellville branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the legal and security jobs side of the business moving forward.

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 Bellville 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 Bellville teams, and the new Conveyancing Secretary will feel that from the first week.

Day in the Life

Your day is built on focus and detail. You work through matter files or post lists, review evidence or contracts and check that every required record is in place.

When something out of the ordinary happens, you respond calmly and follow procedure, knowing that good documentation today protects the business tomorrow.

Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
