Work-Force
The organisation is recruiting a Legal Secretary for its Mossel Bay operation. The role forms part of a wider legal and security jobs portfolio across Western Cape.
The Role
An experienced Legal Secretary is needed to support operations in Mossel Bay. The role forms part of how the business keeps its legal and security jobs portfolio strong in Western Cape.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the legal and security jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Legal Secretary to step into the legal and security jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the legal and security jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Mossel Bay much easier.
Diversity and Inclusion
Beyond that, the organisation supports a respectful workplace. Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates across Western Cape, and recruitment is intended to be fair and transparent.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Mossel Bay.
Crucially, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for Western Cape.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
On top of that, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Mossel Bay will be explained during the hiring process.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Why This Role

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