Litigation Secretary

The organisation is recruiting a Litigation Secretary for its Klerksdorp operation. The role forms part of a wider legal and security jobs portfolio across North West.

About This Position

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

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Klerksdorp 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 Klerksdorp teams, and the new Litigation Secretary will feel that from the first week.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Litigation 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.

Day in the Life

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.

Beyond that, the Klerksdorp 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 Klerksdorp.

Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West operations throw up the unexpected.
