Where to find and apply safely

This vacancy is listed on Careers24, and the Apply button on this page takes you directly to the original advert. Apply only through that original listing, and be wary of anyone who asks you to pay a fee or share banking details to secure a role. Genuine recruiters will not ask you to pay to be considered.

Practical tips

This is a deadline-driven compliance role, so your application should show that you can run a portfolio of clients without letting filings slip: highlight your CIPC experience, your knowledge of the Companies Act, and any statutory software you have used, especially ProfSec. Because applicants must be based in the Western Cape, make your location clear. Since the salary is market related, focus first on whether the scope, client mix and working arrangements fit your career plans.

How the process works

When you apply through the original advert, your application goes to CA Select for shortlisting on behalf of the client firm. Only shortlisted candidates are normally contacted, so make sure your CV clearly shows your qualification, your three or more years of company secretarial experience, and your CIPC and statutory software experience.
