Secretary

Applications are warmly invited for a Secretary role based in Lichtenburg. We welcome candidates from every background across North West who are ready to grow with us.

The Role

The organisation is investing in its Lichtenburg operation, and this Secretary position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the administration jobs function and contribute to the wider North West 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 Lichtenburg 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 Lichtenburg teams, and the new Secretary will feel that from the first week.

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 Lichtenburg.

About the Team

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

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

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.

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.

Crucially, the Lichtenburg 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.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Lichtenburg.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West operations throw up the unexpected.

Growing With Us
