Litigation Secretary

Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Litigation Secretary in Klerksdorp, and we encourage applicants from across North West to consider this opportunity.

What This Role Involves

This Litigation Secretary role sits within the legal and security jobs function in Klerksdorp. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across North West.

The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Klerksdorp team on trust, and the Litigation Secretary role will feel that from week one.

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.

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 Klerksdorp much easier.

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.

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

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Klerksdorp.

Notably, 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.

Your Team

In addition, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Klerksdorp office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when North West operations get busy.

On top of that, the team mix in Klerksdorp reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

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.

Career Growth

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

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

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Klerksdorp have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across North West.

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