Work-Force
Applications are warmly invited for a Legal Secretary role based in Durban. We welcome candidates from every background across KwaZulu-Natal who are ready to grow with us.
The Role
This Legal Secretary role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Durban. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the legal and security jobs pipeline across KwaZulu-Natal.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Durban operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Legal Secretary is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in KwaZulu-Natal is consistently high and consistently fair.
Why This Role
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Durban colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the legal and security jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
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 KwaZulu-Natal.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Durban teams.
Diversity and Inclusion
Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across KwaZulu-Natal, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across KwaZulu-Natal.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Durban.
A Typical Day
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. Communication with site teams, attorneys, clients or SAPS is constant, and you keep your reports factual, precise and timely. When something out of the ordinary happens, you respond calmly and follow procedure, knowing that good documentation today protects the business tomorrow.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.
Beyond that, the Durban 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.
