Work-Force
Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Personal Assistant in Somerset West, and we encourage applicants from across Western Cape to consider this opportunity.
Overview
The organisation is investing in its Somerset West operation, and this Personal Assistant position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the administration jobs function and contribute to the wider Western Cape business.
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 Somerset West 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 Somerset West teams, and the new Personal Assistant will feel that from the first week.
Diversity and Inclusion
Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Somerset West.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Somerset West.
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.
The Environment
Practically speaking, the environment is professional and structured. Expect a calm, well-organised office, a steady flow of support requests, and a strong culture of confidentiality.
Notably, 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.

What You’ll Need

- Matric / National Senior Certificate (Grade 12)
