Filing Clerk

Bring your skills as a Filing Clerk to Kathu and join a team that moves fast. This Northern Cape role is one to watch.

About the Opportunity

This Filing Clerk role sits within the administration jobs function in Kathu. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Northern Cape.

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.

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 Kathu much easier.

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 Kathu teams, and the new Filing Clerk will feel that from the first week.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Filing Clerk to step into the administration jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Growing With Us

In addition, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the administration jobs team in Kathu have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Kathu team member.

Practically speaking, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Kathu have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Northern Cape.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

The Environment

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 Kathu site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

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 Northern Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

About Kathu

Working in Kathu means a place close to the Sishen mining hub, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Northern Cape region, and the Kathu office benefits from those long-standing connections.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Kathu, Northern Cape.

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 Kathu.

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

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.

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

In addition, the Kathu 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 Kathu.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Kathu teams.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Northern Cape.
