We are a small, family-run business operating from a home-based office environment. Our workplace is informal and relaxed, with a practical, down-to-earth working atmosphere. The office consists of a small team of four staff members who work closely together.
As this is a home office, the environment differs from a traditional corporate setting — it is comfortable, collaborative, and flexible. Friendly office dogs are part of the workspace, so applicants should be comfortable working around pets. Team members are expected to be self-motivated, adaptable, and able to work well within a close-knit team environment.
The role suits someone who is comfortable in a less formal setting while still maintaining professionalism and responsibility in their work. We are based in Kameeldrift-East, Pretoria.
