About This Position
The Litigation Secretary vacancy forms part of how the Mdantsane branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the legal and security jobs side of the business moving forward.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the legal and security jobs team in Eastern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Eastern Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
