Secretary

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

About the Opportunity

The Secretary vacancy forms part of how the Cape Town branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the administration jobs side of the business moving forward.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the administration jobs team in Western 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 Secretary 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.

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 Cape Town much easier.

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 Cape Town.

Growing With Us

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The administration jobs space in Cape Town offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Western Cape.

Importantly, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Cape Town have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Western Cape.

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 Cape Town team member.

Why This Role

Notably, the company invests in the people who join it. From structured onboarding to ongoing skills development, you will find clear paths to grow your career in administration jobs from your base in Cape Town. Many colleagues across Western Cape have moved into senior roles after starting in positions just like this one.

Equally, 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 Cape Town keep progressing.

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

Meet the Team

Practically speaking, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Cape Town office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Western Cape operations get busy.

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.

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

What Your Day Looks Like

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.

Practically speaking, the Cape Town 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.

On top of that, 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 Cape Town.
