Personal Assistant

Looking for your next move as a Personal Assistant in Midrand? A role has just opened that gives you real responsibility and a clear path forward in Gauteng.

The Role

The organisation is investing in its Midrand operation, and this Personal Assistant position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the administration jobs function and contribute to the wider Gauteng business.

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

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the administration jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Midrand much easier.

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.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the administration jobs group in Midrand.

Your Future Here

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the administration jobs team in Midrand have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Beyond that, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Midrand have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.

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 Midrand team member.

Many candidates already living within reach of Midrand cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Gauteng economy.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Midrand.

A Typical Day

Your day starts at the front of the business, ready to greet visitors, answer the switchboard and make sure the leadership diaries are in order. Through the morning you balance calls, couriers, capturing data and supporting projects with neat, accurate work. After lunch, you might be preparing minutes from a board pack, helping HR onboard a new starter, or chasing a courier across town. By close of day, every desk you support knows you have it covered, and the office is set up for a calm, productive tomorrow.

On top of that, the Midrand 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.

Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng 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 Midrand.

Your Team

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.
