What you'll need

- Experience in a records, document control or administrative role

- Comfortable with Microsoft 365, SharePoint or Google Workspace

- Methodical, accurate and consistent with naming and filing

- Strong written and spoken English

- A reliable fibre connection, a working laptop and a quiet place to work

Nice to have

- Familiarity with a document management system

- Exposure to data protection or retention policy

- Experience supporting an audit

What's on offer

- 100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa

- Working hours of 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST), Monday to Friday

- Long-term placement with a stable UK employer

- Ongoing support from the Remote Recruitment team throughout your placement

If this sounds like your kind of role, apply with your CV and we'll be in touch.
