Legal Secretary

The organisation is recruiting a Legal Secretary for its Colesberg operation. The role forms part of a wider legal and security jobs portfolio across Northern Cape.

What This Role Involves

This Legal Secretary role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Colesberg. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the legal and security jobs pipeline across Northern Cape.

Equally, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Colesberg operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the 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 Colesberg teams, and the new Legal Secretary will feel that from the first week.

Based in Colesberg
