We're hiring: Reception / Rental Admin Assistant
This one is a little different, so it's worth reading properly.
We're looking for someone to join our Hermanus office as our Reception and Rental Admin Assistant — but we're not looking for someone who wants to sit at reception forever. We're looking for the person who will grow through it.
The path we have in mind: you start at reception and in rental admin, learning our systems, our portfolio and our clients from the ground up. From there, you move deeper into the rental admin department, and — for the right person who puts in the work — on towards managing your own property portfolio as a Portfolio Manager. Every good portfolio manager we know understands the admin backbone of this business inside out. That's exactly where this role starts.
What the first chapter looks like:
- Being the welcoming face and voice of our office, in person and on the phone
- Quality-checking property listings and photos — spelling, detail, accuracy
- Creating social media posts and adverts in Canva and with AI tools
- Coordinating contractors, following up on jobs and payments, keeping clients updated
- Weekly stats, sales meeting minutes, and keeping our office organised and positive
- Helping wherever needed — we're a small team and we back each other
Who we're hoping to meet:
- Someone warm, energetic and well presented, who takes pride in how they show up
- Fluent in English and Afrikaans
- Strong IT skills, confident in Canva, comfortable learning AI tools
- Sharp on detail — errors don't get past you
- Excellent people and telephone skills
- Settled in Hermanus, with the maturity and life experience to steady a busy office — and looking for a long-term home, not a stepping stone
- Own reliable transport
- Property experience is a bonus, not a requirement. Attitude and appetite to learn matter more.
What we offer:
A supportive team that celebrates wins, real recognition for good work, structured one-on-one reviews with management, and a genuine, mapped-out path to grow into portfolio management.
How to apply — please read this part carefully:
Send your CV to [email protected], together with a short write-up telling us why you believe you would be a good fit for this position. Point to real examples from your working life rather than general qualities — we want a genuine sense of what you would bring to our office.
Please note: applications without a write-up will not be considered. This role runs on attention to detail and following a brief properly, so we are starting as we mean to go on.
If that sounds like you — or like someone you know in Hermanus — we'd love to hear from you.
