Administration Assistant – Cape Town

About the Administration Assistant Position

The successful candidate will help keep day-to-day office activities organised and running efficiently. The position involves administrative coordination, maintaining business records, supporting management and helping ensure important office tasks are completed within the required timeframes.

This is an experienced-level position rather than an entry-level administrative vacancy. PNet states that applicants should have at least five years of experience in administration, secretarial work or office support.

Key Responsibilities

Responsibilities associated with the position include managing business correspondence and incoming communications, organising appointments and management schedules, preparing professional documents and reports, maintaining filing and record-management systems, and assisting with meetings.

The successful applicant will also help maintain office supplies, assist with travel and expense administration when required, maintain administrative databases and provide support to directors and senior management.

General office administration and other reasonable administrative tasks may also form part of the position.

Minimum Requirements

Applicants should have:

• Grade 12/Matric or an equivalent qualification.
• At least five years of relevant administrative, secretarial or office-support experience.
• Previous experience working in a professional office environment.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, including Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and MS Project.
• A certificate or diploma related to Office Administration or Business Administration would be advantageous, although the listing does not state that it is mandatory.

Skills Needed

Candidates should be able to communicate professionally in writing and verbally while demonstrating strong organisation and time management.

Attention to detail is particularly important because the position involves documentation, records and administrative coordination. Applicants should also be comfortable prioritising work, handling several responsibilities, solving day-to-day problems and working under pressure.

The employer is looking for someone who can work independently while still functioning effectively as part of a team. Professionalism, confidentiality, reliability and a proactive approach are also important for the position.

Salary

The advertised salary is R17,500 per month, depending on experience.
