Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. Role: Executive Assistant. Location: Kuruman, Northern Cape. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.
The Role
The organisation is investing in its Kuruman operation, and this Executive Assistant position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the administration jobs function and contribute to the wider Northern Cape business.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the administration jobs team in Northern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
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 Kuruman teams, and the new Executive Assistant will feel that from the first week.
Crucially, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Kuruman also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
What We Offer
Few roles let you see the impact of your work as quickly as this one. Every shift, project and decision in Kuruman contributes to real outcomes for clients and colleagues across the administration jobs space in Northern Cape.
Career development may be available depending on the role, business needs and the hiring organisation’s policies.

Importantly, the role’s development opportunities, training and benefits, if offered, will be set out in the final vacancy details.
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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Kuruman.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Practically speaking, inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Kuruman.
Based in Kuruman
Importantly, the role is based in Kuruman, near the Kimberley diamond heritage centre. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Kuruman and the broader Northern Cape region.
