Personal Assistant

Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Personal Assistant in Cradock, and we encourage applicants from across Eastern Cape to consider this opportunity.

About This Position

The Personal Assistant position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Eastern Cape. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Cradock and across the administration jobs space.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the administration jobs team in Eastern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Personal Assistant to step into the administration jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Importantly, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Cradock also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Eastern Cape, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.

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

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 Eastern Cape.

Why This Role

Few roles let you see the impact of your work as quickly as this one. Every shift, project and decision in Cradock contributes to real outcomes for clients and colleagues across the administration jobs space in Eastern Cape.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Cradock 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 Eastern Cape.

Crucially, 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 Cradock keep progressing.

Growing With Us

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the administration jobs team in Cradock 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 Cradock team member.

Notably, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Cradock have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Eastern Cape.

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the administration jobs side of the business inside out. The Cradock 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.

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.

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

Your Workplace

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.
