Litigation Secretary

This is a current vacancy. Role: Litigation Secretary. Location: Stellenbosch, Western Cape. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

About the Opportunity

In addition, this Litigation Secretary role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Stellenbosch. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the legal and security jobs pipeline across Western Cape.

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.

Beyond that, 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.

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 Stellenbosch much easier.

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.

Your Workplace

On top of that, the environment is process-driven and regulation-aware. Whether you are at a desk or on site, attention to detail, calm conduct and accurate reporting are non-negotiable.

On top of that, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

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

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Stellenbosch site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Your Future Here

Crucially, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the legal and security jobs team in Stellenbosch 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.

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

On top of that, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Stellenbosch have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Western Cape.

What We Offer

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Stellenbosch colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the legal and security jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Stellenbosch teams.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Western Cape.

Practically speaking, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Stellenbosch keep progressing.

Meet the Team

Equally, you will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the legal and security jobs side of the business inside out. The Stellenbosch group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

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

Crucially, the team mix in Stellenbosch reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

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.

Our Commitment to Transformation

In addition, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Stellenbosch.

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.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western Cape.

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.

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape 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 Stellenbosch.

On top of that, 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.
