Junior Administrator / Office Assistant / Administrator

Location: Umhlanga, Durban
Position: Full-Time, Office-Based
Contract: 6-Month Contract
Number of Positions: 2

Join Our Team

We are looking for two reliable, organized, and motivated people to join our team and provide administrative and operational support across a group of growing businesses operating in technology, property, and other business sectors.

We are looking to fill two positions at different levels of experience:

• Administrator – suited to someone with previous administrative experience who can take responsibility for tasks independently once trained.
• Junior Administrator / Office Assistant – suited to someone who is starting their career, has limited experience, or is looking for an opportunity to learn and grow.

You don't need to have experience in every area of the role. Training will be provided on our systems, processes, and the way we operate.

We are looking for people who take pride in their work, pay attention to detail, are willing to learn, and can become a dependable part of our day-to-day operations.

What You'll Be Doing

Your responsibilities will vary depending on your experience and the needs of the business, but may include:

• General day-to-day office administration
• Managing and responding to emails and basic messages
• Capturing and updating information on company systems
• Filing and organizing documents and records
• Preparing and following up on quotations, orders, and basic documentation
• Assisting with customer and supplier communication
• Updating internal systems and task-management platforms
• Following up on outstanding tasks
• Assisting with stock administration and coordinating orders
• Helping prepare and check stock before it is sent to customers
• Coordinating collections, deliveries, and suppliers
• Assisting with property-related administration when required
• Checking that information and documentation is accurate and complete
• Assisting other team members with administrative and operational tasks
• Providing general support across the different businesses within the group
• Taking on additional reasonable administrative duties as required

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

• Reliable and punctual
• Organized and detail-oriented
• Friendly and professional
• A good communicator
• Comfortable using computers and technology
• Able to learn new software and systems quickly
• Good at following instructions and established processes
• Careful and accurate with their work
• Able to manage multiple tasks without losing track of them
• Comfortable following up with people
• Able to work independently once trained
• Positive, practical, and willing to help
• Comfortable asking questions when unsure
• Someone who takes responsibility for completing their work properly

Experience

For the Administrator position, previous administrative or office experience would be advantageous.

For the Junior Administrator / Office Assistant position, previous experience is not essential. This could be a great opportunity for someone starting their career or looking to gain valuable experience in a business environment.

Ultimately, we are more interested in finding people with the right attitude, reliability, work ethic, attention to detail, and willingness to learn than simply looking at years of experience.

About the Position

You will work from our office in Umhlanga and support several businesses within our group.

Because we operate across different industries, you will gain exposure to a wide range of business activities, systems, and administrative processes.

This is initially a 6-month contract, with the possibility of a longer-term position depending on performance, business requirements, and the individual's suitability for the role.
