Secretary

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

About the Opportunity

This Secretary role sits within the administration jobs function in Christiana. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across North West.

The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Christiana team on trust, and the Secretary role will feel that from week one.

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.

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

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 Christiana.

Equal Opportunity

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 Christiana.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across North West.

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

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.

Based in Christiana

Christiana continues to grow as an employment hub in North West, with near the Hartbeespoort tourism node. This role gives you a foothold in one of its busier business communities, with access to the local services, suppliers and partners that keep the work moving.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Christiana, North West.

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 Christiana.

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

Growing With Us

On top of that, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the administration jobs team in Christiana 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 Christiana team member.

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

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 Christiana 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.

Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West 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 Christiana.

Why Join Us

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Christiana colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the administration jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Practically speaking, 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 Christiana keep progressing.

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 North West.

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

Where You’ll Work

Equally, the environment is professional and structured. Expect a calm, well-organised office, a steady flow of support requests, and a strong culture of confidentiality.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Christiana site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in North West. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
