Work-Force
A vacancy has been confirmed for a Litigation Secretary based in Stellenbosch, Western Cape. The successful candidate will join an established team within the legal and security jobs function.
About This Position
The organisation is investing in its Stellenbosch operation, and this Litigation Secretary position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the legal and security jobs function and contribute to the wider Western Cape business.
Notably, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Stellenbosch operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Importantly, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Stellenbosch also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
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.
Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Crucially, the Stellenbosch 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.
